Soon time for a trip to the U.S.

With our dollar hitting 91 cents U.S. today I believe a trip to our neighbour in the south is soon in order. I would like to skip Grand Forks and go a little further to Fargo (fahgo ehh.). It's a larger city and has more things to do. Marla and I have talked about going to Minneapolis - St. Paul but with a population of somewhere around 3 million and high speed U.S. freeways I think we'll pass for now. You got to work yourself up to that right? Madrid was intimidating enough for me when we went to Spain (last year this month actuall) and we didn't have to do any driving there. Madrid has a population of 6 million and 54 million visitors a year.

Anyway, back to Fargo. I've been there once before when on a Hotwheels run with some other guys. That was the day after we moved out of our house in Winnipeg and into my in-laws house while we waited for our new house to be finished. That's not something I would repeat again - eight hours with three 40+ guys who collect hotwheels or head out on a trip the day a lot of work needed to be done. That's a story for another day however.

The high dollar is also nice for us right now as it means cheaper fruits and vegetables from the U.S. I've noticed gas isn't increasing at the same rate as in the U.S. either. Not that they really have anything to complain about. When we were paying $1.15 last year they were bitching about what worked out to 75 cents a litre CDN. Then again, if you're not used to paying more, any increase will be bad.

Well, that's about it for today. Keep your feet on the pegs and your right hand cranked... oh wait a minute... too much TSN.

P.S. I found pricing on the groundhog anchors. $109.95 + taxes.
