Compare the weather in Nantucket with where you are and you'll see the difference. Was at Midway Airport earlier today. Snowing and had to be de-iced. Was cold, about 50 at 4:30 am when I went to Oakland airport. The temp is 20 and there's about 2-3 inches of snow on the ground. No golf for us today, for sure. But it's supposed to warm up to 50 with rain tomorrow, so maybe by Thursday we'll see green on the course. Of course, it'll be 'cart path only' so the riders will have to do a lot of walking. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, and narcissists...not guns! |

- show quoted text - "But for a teensy weensy ribbon of terra firma you would be completely surrounded by water. Aint that so?" I've stated many times that I live on a peninsula..attached to a larger peninsula..that is itself attached to a bigger peninsula again. (province). Roughly 18 miles keeps us from being separated from the common continentals. You can think of us as a bit of Paradise at the end of the road. |

You shouldn't use big, obscure words like peninsula or province with morons like FlaJim. |

One of the Disney ships makes a Canadian Coastline Cruise leaving from New York with stops at St. John and Halifax. But, almost $6000 for the two of us for only five days seems a bit excessive. I'm thinking it would be much cheaper and about as much fun to RV it up there. It's only about 1150 miles - two days travel time, staying off the toll roads. Wonder if there's a ferry from St. John's to Halifax. Could be fun. http://tinyurl.com/juhmeno -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, and narcissists...not guns! |

But, it would cost about $450 for the truck and trailer (the two of us would be free). And, it would take longer than the drive. Ferry does not sound like such a good idea. |

No doubt reservations would be needed for an RV. |
