Wow - that's neat!
I LOVED this story - because you just reminded me of a couple of things that I had completely forgotten about. I shall just have to write about them! THANKYOU!
Yeah - the airmiles/aeroplan lark used to be great - I flew to Hong Kong for peanuts not too long ago - but now, forget it. Those taxes are more than the bloody ticket. My son just booked an aeroplan flight to Paris and it cost him $480. Until recently, the return flight was $700. GRRR!
