Couldn't Resist, So...

We're off to Manchester (UK) and Iceland in early October.  We've always wanted to take a tour of the Coronation Street set but the tours ended when the show went to a five nights per week schedule.  No time for tours around the shooting.

Anyway, the production company built a new set (hence the overnight increase in the size on every room on the show) and the old one has been in use as a tour site since April.  On 4 October that ends and the demo starts, but on that same day we're doing a tour.

The cheapest flights direct Toronto-Manchester-Toronto were Iceland Air and so on the way back we're spending 5 days in Iceland.

In Manchester we're staying with friends but we're HERE whilst in Reykjavik. 

Treat number two results from Geri inheriting a sum from her father when he died (see below).  She'll be in Cuba for 4 weeks over Christmas and New Years while I will be joining her for three weeks.  Letting us both celebrate Christmas and New Year's on the beach at the Melia Cayo Santa Maria.
