Are the prices in USD, and where do you ship from? (I looked at the site but I can’t tell)
Haha great image 🚬

A couple of pretty, pale yellow crocuses.
We’ve become SO spoiled…

The 2-toned daffs have now started to bloom as well 🌱
I paid 1.63 in Penticton yesterday 😳

Sunday fun day. Homemade noodles taste so much better.

It was an eye opener for sure. Puerto Vallarta has been safe for decades, I gather. Also an eye opener how poorly some airlines are willing to treat you!
Thanks so much 🙏. At the moment I feel very done with international travel!
Ah thanks.
Someone must’ve put me in a Canadian starter pack, which is sweet. But I’ll only follow you back if you interact with my posts and I get a sense of who you are!
Thank you!! All our group of 9 are now home 😅
Thank you so much 🙏. I’m thinking I may be done with international travel. Canada has more than enough great travel destinations for me. I just don’t have the stamina anymore for when things go wrong…
Late last night, after 3 flights over 2 days, thru the US (which we’d wanted to avoid), and on our own dime, we made it home from #PuertoVallarta. If we’d still been depending on #Westjet, we would still be there—and many are. We are exhausted, and battered in spirit, but at least we are home. ✅
It’s absolutely shameful that the Government of Canada lets Canadian airlines get away with this behavior. If you are going to allow a monopoly to occur in an industry, the least you can do is ensure and enforce strict consumer protections.
💯
Canadians CONTINUE to be stranded in Puerto Vallarta. Many are having to pay their own way home @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social
Airlines have a legal obligation to get them home NOW. Please share, we need to UP the volume!

I should add that 5 of our family members (my MIL and the 6 year old are now out of their necessary medications) are still here also, without having been told when they get to go home. At least Sunwing is paying for their accommodation.
would have meant an extra $2100!!
It will be SO GOOD to get home!! Thanks for your support!
Thanks for this, Anna. We found out yesterday that we’d been rebooked for March 2 (!) but in the meantime we’ve changed our plans again and are flying to San Francisco today, staying overnight there with my sister, and home tomorrow. Just as well as the resort is now charging us $300/night which
Thank you, this is very validating and helpful 🤗
Okay we have paid $2700 to get ourselves home from #PuertoVallarta ONE WEEK AFTER we were supposed to leave because #Westjet is doing precisely NOTHING proactive to get us home. I’m starting to wonder about suing them….
@castanet.net
I’m quoted in this article…
They shouldn’t have to contact their airport reps? Who knows…
The latest on the disappointing Westjet: my SIL was on hold with them for 5.5 hours today only to be told to GO TO THE AIRPORT (it’s 10:30 pm) to speak to a Westjet representative. Yet, the Canadian government has told people to go to the airport ONLY if they have a booked flight. 😡 #PuertoVallarta
My BIL said today that these days nullify all the fun of the holiday proper. That’s so sad but I pretty much agree…
Yup. Huge family fight today. Trying to remind myself, this too shall pass…
