So, assuming The Student in the family can pull off good marks, I was thinking that might call for a Vancouver blitz around the end of April for a week or so. 7-11, JJ Bean, Kolachis, Chinese steam buns, cheap sushi, decent Indian food, a couple nights at The Cobalt.

Part of what brought this up is that I have a $50 credit with Westjet that’s expiring in November, and I just won’t be able to use it; anyone want to buy a discounted credit if you’re planning on booking a flight sometime soon? I assume that the credit can be applied on a flight so long as it’s booked and paid for before the credit expires, so I’m guessing you be able to use it for Christmas travel. I need to call to check with WestJet on the particulars, but it’s fully transferable.
