Seriously. West Jet popped up with a one-way flight to L.A. for under $200. Granted, it would mean I’d have to fly from Montreal to Toronto, switch flights, fly from Toronto to Calgary, and then switch again once more to arrive in L.A. The flight leaves on Monday and arrives 25 hours later on Tuesday. A bit long, but still, less than $200 so how much can you complain, really?
Why was I looking up flights to California? Because over the past several days it has SNOWED. AGAIN. This morning it was snowing sideways. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was just warm enough that most of it was melting as it landed, it could have been January outside our windows today. And it was damn depressing. I’ve had enough of snow. In two more days we’ll be halfway through the month of April. In seven more days it will be a whole month since the calendar declared that it was Spring. I seriously can’t take anymore snowfalls, so my brain copes by fantasizing that it would actually be plausible to hop on a plane for a warmer destination, never mind the fact that I have nowhere to stay, two kids, and no passport.
Why L.A.? Why not? I always wanted to go there anyway. And it’s probably pretty unlikely that they’re dealing with snow in mid-April down there. Especially since I just checked and apparently the weather there today is 93F and sunny according to ForecastFox.
I would have taken a picture of the falling snow but I was afraid I might cry and then I wouldn’t be able to see through the viewfinder. Besides, I had to pack some snacks before heading off to the bell tower with my sniper rifle. Any other Winter-sick folks care to join me?
I don’t know how you Canadians manage winters. I’ve been in northern Vermont in January, which is still SOUTH of Montreal, and I found it to be too cold. If spring is anything like here in New England, it’ll finally come racing in one week.
Seriously, it was 93 degrees today and I couldn’t find a pool to jump in. You are more than welcome to borrow about 20 of those degrees.
I am so glad I am moving in less than a month because summer has officially begun, and how I survived it last year while hugely pregnant is beyond me. I think I blocked the memory.
If you don’t mind sleeping on the couch you’re more than welcome here. Bring the kids and defrost for awhile 😉
You have my sympathy. I would, however, have selected San Francisco so I could get some of that sourdough bread. Tonight should be about 5C here (Pensacola, FL); tomorrow night about 1C, then warmer.
Come on down! You could stay at my house and we could dip our feet in the pool and relax all day. (The pool is still too cold to swim in even though it’s 90 degrees out). Will you leave your girls at home? I’ll have to find something to do with mine. Maybe I’ll ship them to Canada. 🙂
Somehow landed on your site looking for a Los Angeles food blog! Anyways, love the design of the site. If you want to go to somewhere warm come down to San Diego! It’s nice and toasty, and not overpopulated like Los Angeles.
