Today is your day Boomer! Checking in with my Boomer friends....many of whom are headed south for the winter, already! Arizona, California, Mexico, Hawaii: I am certainly jealous, but I will still relay travel tips from two sources to help Boomers and their ever-increasing costs! One travel blogger says you should consider hotels instead of private accommodation because places like Air BnB's have really taken a price hike! These other recommendations come from Expedia: "spokeswoman Melanie Fish says there is a sweet spot when buying plane tickets of around two months before departure on a domestic flight, which could save Canadians up to 40 per cent on flight costs. For international travel, Fish says Canadians should book at least three months in advance, as booking either too soon or too late may not offer the same savings. A recent report from Expedia also recommends booking flights on Sundays to save up to 15 per cent and says that Wednesdays are the cheapest day to travel, saving passengers up to 20 per cent on flights within Canada". Good tips just for you...and maybe me, later this winter!? Cheers and happy travel Boomers!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
