Year-End Wrap-up
I've been back for three days and I'm just now getting over my jet lag. After some complications with Air Canada and my return flight, I was forced to buy a new ticket to get back to Switzerland. I'm very disappointed with Air Canada but the change let me visit New Jersey for New Year's. On New Year's Eve a friend and I were in Manhattan for the matinée performance of Mamma Mia. The show was fantastic but my date thought the wedding theme made it rather girlie. After the show we walked through Times Square but quickly got out of there due to the massive crowds forming for the evening festivities. That evening we were in New Jersey where saw a great Dr. John show and fireworks display. I flew back to Switzerland on New Year's Day.
The vacation was a great end to the year. I spent quality time with family and friends and only wished such opportunities were more frequent. It was a very good year and I'm now contemplating what I'd like to do in 2007. At the very least I'd like to visit Cape Town in either March or at Christmas and perhaps do another bike tour including the Tour de Schwiiz. I'm also thinking of a few trips to Canada and the US and definitely many weekends in the mountains. It should be a good year.

What happened with Air Canada? I'm planning on going to Sudbury in August, and I was thinking of booking Air Canada from Zurich to Toronto to Sudbury.
Maybe I should make other plans?
Hi BF, I had a flight from Newark to Zürich via Toronto, but wanted to skip the Newark-Toronto connection since I was already in Canada. Air Canada informed me that I wouldn't (or shouldn't) be permitted to board in Toronto since the route originated in Newark. Their inflexibility just frustrated me. Their only solution was to to fly to Newark just to return back to Toronto. Ah well, perhaps it's my fault for not reading the fine print.
May I make a suggestion? Visit Sudbury in early October for the autumn colours. cheers, chris
