Travelling to Halifax!

As mentioned previously, my brother is remarrying in Halifax, NS, October 10. After a small bout of sticker shock from airline rates, we've decided that I'll be attending the wedding solo: we just can't afford to send both cuyahogarvr and kent4str along with me.

Taking advantage of cuyahogarvr's travel agent super-powers, I deftly waited until after Labour Day to book a flight as the airlines typically shuffle & add routes and offer sales during this window. Sure enough, a new option has appeared: a direct flight between Washington DC (Dulles airport) and Halifax!

I've just completed the purchase. For $533 USD (ouch!), I'm departing DC on Thursday, October 8, 2009, arriving in Halifax around lunchtime; I'll be returning the morning of Tuesday, October 13.

The extended clan has largely decided to stay at the Esquire Motel in Bedford, NS. The place has larger suites for families with kids and they're pet-friendly. For the sake of my sanity, I'm tempted to look elsewhere, but for the sake of family peace & tranquility, I'll likely stay there too.

Anyone out there in Halifax?
