Deal of the Year - Expedia SAVE $300 = free trips to New York City

I don't think I can explain it better than a News company - CityNews Article
There was a fear of cancellation, but now that one week has passed I think everyone is safe.

I am glad I saw the deal in time and stayed up late to find a near-zero package. This is my early X'mas presents (flying to NYC for free), and I am glad to take Wendy to NYC before Ella arrives

Booking 1 - Jerry $10

There are other expensive NYC expenses
  • Hotel for 3 nights = $175/night x 2 at 14th & 6th Ave (Manhattan) + $85 at Hilton Newark Airport
    • Booking hotels separately because we don't want to stay at Hostels in the Expedia package
  • Transportation = $100 for 3 (In & Out of Manhattan and Metro daypass)
  • Food = ??
Look on the bright side, we SAVED $900 to spend more money ^_____^

Week Recap - Birthday

30th Birthday
  • My brother and Cat got me a surprise gift - Brand New Nikon D3100 DSLR camera, THANK YOU. He got it because my D40 fell out of the backpack during LA trip and lens' aperture lever malfunctioned, kudos for free diagnose at Nikon Canada in Mississauga.
  • We all went out for birthday dinner at The Keg, using a $50 gift card won in a food bank weight contest.. The Keg's complimentary dessert was tasty!! There were 2 other birthday tables while we were there
  • Thanks to all for the birthday wishes. This birthday - I think I have everything I ever wanted ^___^
Winter Is Here
  • It is that cold time of the year again, so got my winter tires on
  • Putting on the new coat Wendy bought for me in China, thank you honey~
Stratford Festival
  • Attended the closing performance of Stratford's As You Like It, it has been a long time since I last watched any Shakespeare's play, and I could barely understand the sentences. Thankfull I studied the storyline beforehand, but I am sure I'll stick to the Musicals and modern plays in future
  • 2010 performances attended at Stratford: Peter Pan > Kiss Me, Kate > As You Like It
Coming up
  • First visit to OB/GYN
