As has been the norm recently, a couple of warm sunny days are invariably followed by cooler cloudy days. The latest winter storm seems to be approaching, but is not meant to get much closer than Atlanta, about 150 miles north west of here. The temperature was around 11°C for most of the day.
After breakfast I was playing around on the computer (surprise) and on a whim checked the Air Canada web site for prices to London for our upcoming trip. Up until the weekend the price had been $1100 return, or $970 if I wanted to route through Detroit and wait around 8 hours for flights. Today Air Canada spat out a fare of $880, I couldn’t believe it. This was one of the cheapest fares I had seen for a long while. Ten minutes later we had two tickets to London. A little later in the day I was reading a blog, and it appears Air Canada is offering discounts on some flights related to the number of Olympic medals Canada won on the day. Maybe that could explain the cheap fare. While on the Air Canada page, they were offering cheap car rental, normally I don’t bother with these offers but I decided to compare the rates against my usual rental agencies. Again I seemed to have found a winner, the prices were about $150 cheaper than other companies. The rental was with Hertz so I am not too worried about the rental product.
This afternoon was Crafts Club time for Lyn. I had some work I had wanted to do on the trailer for some time so I headed outside. A couple of support rails on the entrance stairs had rusted and caused the paint to peel off, so I cleaned it up and sprayed on some black rubber coating. Hopefully this will stop further rusting.
Yesterday I forgot to include a couple of pictures, so I’ll put them in now. On Jekyll Island there are a number of electric cars/carts on the road, which I haven’t seen else where.
There’s even a van version
