I asked Gary if we could discuss the vacation in Quebec, because we need to make some decisions and reservations, and I have found that if something goes South the blame is softened if the blame is shared.
On the downside, I have to force Gary into decision making mode.
It was as if we were buying the Honda Fit all over again.
In the last two hours, he has gone in these directions.
No whales! Why would we want to see whales?
Must see whales.
We have to go on the tour bus to see whales, we can’t drive ourselves, because we don’t speak French and all the signs will be in French.
Screw the whales, we must see the fjords east of the whales. It’s only a four hour trip! We could probably make it in three.
Well, we could do whales if they’re on the way to fjords, but only if we tack on the penguins at the end. (I think he’s planning a day trip to Nova Scotia.)
Whales above all other creatures. Whales whales whales.
Screw whales. Elk.
And the final verdict: we must not tie ourselves down with plans. Let’s just see what happens when we get there.

every time i see a honda fit i think of you and your blog. EVER. SINGLE. TIME. and i laugh how you called it the honda seizure. 🙂
Mrs. Hall – I think “Is that Gary?”
hee hee hee
Mrs. Hall – I really should get him a C-ZURE plate someday. Becs – That was pretty funny. I laughed along with Mrs Hall.
Maybe you could go see them clubbing baby seals.
Hattie – I thought that was the other side of Canada. I did solve the mystery of what penguins are doing in Quebec: they are Razorbills. They look like penguins, stand like penguins, have babies like penguins – but they can fly. So, technically a penguin impostor.
Let us know if you decide to screw the whales and choose lobster/oysters instead! 🙂 http://goo.gl/maps/LFr8u
Sarah – What a nice invite!
