Jay has finally replaced a pair of jeans he wore out. Over the years, he always said it looked like a beggar to wear jeans with holes in the knees, even when it was cool. Now that it is still a bit fashionable, he is ensuring he avoids the trend.We drove uptown in the rain this morning. That's where the photo was taken. It's continued to rain cats and dogs. We are still shy of a month back in the Lower Mainland, and I'm already fed up with this climate. We came back for spring and summer. So where the hell are they?
Speaking of going away for winter, we're presently deciding on a 2023/24 itinerary. At the moment, buying tickets is proving a bit difficult as many airlines are not selling a whole year ahead. It seems that some will be trying out new itineraries. And these companies do not want to commit themselves to an entire 365 days, I guess.
We're considering returning to Sri Lanka as a base. Hopefully, we will be able to take Jay's sisters on a number of trips during our five-month stay; perhaps to Dubai, Singapore, and Thailand.
We recently discovered that Air Canada will be flying new, 15-hour, Vancouver-to-Dubai, nonstop flights a number of times per week starting in the fall. We may have to head eastward because the decline of Cathay Pacific and mainland Chinese airlines is pushing up fares on contenders flying through countries west of our location.
As it does for most things, time will tell.
