Hi John,
Thanks fro the heads-up for Canada. We hve considered that ioption too,
but last year decided on the US because my wife and me have been to
Canada already but not to the US yet. Also the kids liked the idea of
the US more than Canada. As tey will be 19 and 16 next year while we
visit they do have a big say in waht we visit and do.
As per rules of the list mum I won't go into the other matter.
