I never met a yahoo I didn’t like, Pumpkins. And Calgarians are a special breed. Mayor Nenshi has crowned himself yahoo-in-chief and I say ‘Hear! Hear!’ to that.
Between the floods, fires and oil tanker explosions – we could use a bit of that kind of spirit. I find that spirits tend to fix most problems. As does Toronto's Mayor, apparently. In fact, his stellar reputation is as well travelled as mine. A Toronto travel writer recently recounted how in the deepest, darkest, jungle of Borneo, his loin-clothed guide expleted "your mayor smokes crack!". Ahh. Nenshi. Come east, dahrling!
If ‘the end’ is coming, we may as well kick up our heels while we can, dahrlings. Personally, I try and keep mine up whenever possible.
Back on dry land, Carnival wants us back. It’s always like that, isn’t it, dahrlings? They swing from wanting us, needing us, to sourcing younger, cheaper and dare I say it … shallower distribution channels. You can’t have an intelligent conversation with a technologically enhanced booking Barbie, can you? I mean besides ‘how many nights’ & ‘how much do you want to spend’?
Air Canada & Norwegian came crawling back. Sandals, I understand, never strayed. You don’t find many with that kind of loyalty. Even ACTA is rediscovering travel agents. I love it when an association figures out what it’s associated with.
