Fireworks on the beach in Puerto Vallarta.

Four glasses of mimosas in the morning.

In Puerto Vallarta. The weather and the people here are fantastic!

Mmm, Modelo Negra. I'll be having one there tomorrow. Safe flight.

C'mon up! We have great cycling trails.

Yes, we're heading from Kelowna to Puerto Vallarta on Saturday the 28th. Westjet's flexible exchange policy for PV is only in effect up to Feb 27th, so we won't be able to take advantage of that. It should be calmed down by then.

Yeah, but I hear Air Canada and Westjet are starting back flights tomorrow. We'll see in a day or so I guess.

Thanks, yeah, that's kinda what I figured.

How does it look there now to you? Gotta think things are only going to get better over the next few days. My wife and I are planning on leaving Kelowna this Saturday. Would you recommend we cancel or still come down there? We are staying in an all-inclusive, not an Airbnb or anything.

A good game by #teamcanada, but out with the old and in with the new. Why TF wasn't Connor Bedard there? Binnington was ok, but Crosby, Marchand, Doughty have had their turn, need some more young guys in there in 4 years. #olympics2026

Oh no, I'm supposed to fly there from Kelowna next Saturday! I hope they get things straightened out by then. Not looking good.

It was a good game. Canada sat back on the lead waaaay too long. US played much better. #olympics2026

Oh Donald...

Remember in the 90's and 2000's how violent video games were getting? Yeah, those kids are ICE agents now.

Ugh!. #Canucks I don't care about the draft lottery chances. Just win some games. #sopainful #notoffthebandwagon

Yep, going to Mexico for the first time is 20 years next month.

Ooooh, that looks good.

Mortal Combat, Call of Duty. What the Fuck did you think would happen? #ICEOut #Minnesota

I hope the #Sharks threw in a bag of pucks too!

And the Okanagan completely socked in under a temperature inversion. *sigh*

I was gonna watch Cloud Atlas for the first time a couple of nights ago, but saw it was over 3 hours long. 😮 I'll watch it another night when I have more time.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! FF********KKKK! 54 day streak done!

If he can do this to Venezuela, he can do it to Greenland, or Canada! It's about the oil.

Looking forward to New Years Eve tonight. We'll watch the festivities back east and into bed by 9:15. Yay!
