Anytime! I was at a conference in Markham the other week Went to school in North Bay, ON lots of people attending Nipissing from Markham. (Just happened to notice you weren't too far away )

 

[bdoyledimou]

Cool! Although Ottawa is nice....... I think Markham is the best place in the world to live! Big City Amenities, small town feel, and only 20 minute drive to Downtown Toronto! ;P

I dont live in ottawa anymore I never updated haha! I actually grew up near Ottawa on the army base (nice and quiet!)

But alas Internet found me a boyfriend several moons ago and I moved in with him in Sacramento...totally different than Ottawa or Markham.

Markham is real nice! I just am a small town girl (Small = 17000 or less!)

We are home. Our vacation went way to fast. We decided to do another 2 weeks next year.
Unfortunately the glass coffee pot broke at some point. When I received it the entire bottom was cracked to the point I felt it was not safe to use. I threw the pot away but left the heating unit. It is a Rival coffee pot if any one would like to replace it. Otherwise if it is still there when we return in Oct I will bring a new pot. Thank you every one for helping me keep this swap going. I added the new toaster. Hopefully this one will stick around for a while.
Have a great trip everyone!!!!

Extremesoccermom you were mentioning you might get a toaster for the swap? If not Im going to donate one when I go at the end of September if one hasn't popped up. To save money we're doing Pop Tarts and Bagels and stuff that we order from Garden Grocers for breakfast

Thanks! And was your surprise trip awesome?!

Yes I did get a toaster. It is included in the swap. DD loves bagels in the morning so I decided to add one. It is so much nicer. (She is NOT a morning person )

Im working on posting a few more times and then I will be able to PM you.
Thanks again.

Okay I found a replacement pot. It is a Mr. Coffee but it will fit the rival. I tried it in the store. So as long as it makes it thru the flight we are good.

The LS people are super nice. Although I would look for the biggest guy because this fridge is a big one. The first gentleman that helped me picked it up like it was nothing and offered to help me get it out of the box. The kid that helped me bring it back to storage needed help lifting it onto the cart but they were both super nice

By the way we have a new November 16-24 opening!!

Anyone know if you can pack the coffee pot in your carry on? I really don't want to check it if I don't have to. We know how they treat our luggage....

That may not be allowed.. (to easy to modify to a weapon of opportunity.) but a call to the TSA may answer that!

If you pack it in luggage, might i suggest stuffing it with soft clothes (like a t-shirt?)to provide equal pressure within and without.
