Oooh, my pocketbooks are feeling significantly lighter. This weekend, Roger and I purchased our VIA tickets - Halifax to Montreal, Montreal to Toronto, and Toronto to Vancouver! We used our four $100 gift cards (courtesy of Air Miles), which was about 15% of the total. Not too shabby! Of course, this means if anyone was planning on donating VIA Rail gift cards, it's too late. But we're leaving the expense on our Deposit-A-Gift registry site, because goodness knows we'd be grateful to a gift that helped us cover the costs!
But money matters aside, it's one of the first major purchases we've made for this honeymoon, and we're both very, very excited. Our other purchase was to buy plane tickets to Halifax: we fly out on Friday afternoon via Porter (yay warmed espresso cup luxury!) and will be staying at Aunt Irene's that night. I haven't yet had anyone offer a location for a possible get together while we're down there (it would have to be Saturday day or Sunday night), but it's still three months away. Lots of time. And we still haven't bought our return flight from Vancouver, but we're stalking WestJet for a seat sale.
Roger and I are very excited at what we've got lined up already: a night at the Waverley Inn in Halifax, possibly a trip to the Biodome in Montreal, and definitely sushi in Vancouver. Anyone have any other suggestions as to where to visit? I know I'd love to see the Japanese Gardens at UBC, and Roger wants to go for a hike along the way (possibly through Stanley Park, or somewhere else on the West Coast)... so exciting! We're looking forward to this trip just as much as the whole wedding!
