I had hoped to go last year but a family emergency canx'd that idea. Not sure if I will go for CW or SSB weekend, tho...Can't swing both! Now that should be a cool trip. One of these years I want to make it to Newfoundland. Yeah...but in November...?!?! I can hack wet, and I can hack cold...wet and cold doesn't seem to be a very comforting combination...! I have put out a solicitation on my "ER-Nurses" list server and have already received some responses from my colleagues in Canada with info on lodging opportunities. I hope to find a nice cabin somewhere. Well, I went to the "Winterlude" in Ottawa this past February. Did you know that Ottawa is the second coldest countries capital in the world - the coldest is in one of the 'Stans! Anyhow, the people in Ottawa, after being socked in during November, December and January, finally go bonkers when the days get longer and the cold loses a little of it's grip. They then pretend it is warmer than it really is, and have three weekends of partying outside. Very cool, if crazy. I had a blast. My son and I took a many mile skate on the Rideau canal, which freezes over entirely during the winter. They even have concessions on the canal, and flood it to resurface the ice for a good skate. They really know how to do winter in Canada, so you'll be taken care of well, youbet. - Mike KB3EIA - |
