We bought our first plane ticket the other day with Club Z points. Who would have ever thought shopping at Zellers would help us get around the world!
Dean will be leaving early in August to drive from Ottawa to Edmonton on his own. Dean has never driven across the Prairies and it is certainly something that everyone should do once. However, we decided that now is not the time for Campbell and Kelly to experience that part of the country. Being in the car for hours on end, without a lot to look at, would not be a good way to start our trip. So, Campbell, Kelly and Judy will fly from Ottawa to Edmonton on August 21 and will meet Dean there. Kelly is thrilled to be starting a world tour at the biggest shopping mall in Canada. We won't need our hiking boots for this leg of the trip, but I'm sure it will be a good introduction to the amount of walking we will be doing over the course of 5 months. I have no doubt we will find something to entertain Campbell while Kelly checks out each and every store. Kelly has been warned that whatever she decides to buy, she will have to carry on her back for 5 months. I'm hoping that will be somewhat of a deterrent, but I could be wrong.
