To us it just makes more sense to sell it and then buy something else once we return to North America for more RVing.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-40934643653014305842020-12-23T00:40:01.917-05:002020-12-23T00:40:01.917-05:00We were always getting the European one, Kevin was...We were always getting the European one, Kevin was just showing the North American on for a comparison between the two.<br /><br />We are very excited, and looking forward to getting to see it in person but we still have a little while to wait before that happens. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-45754200435734610722020-12-23T00:33:48.822-05:002020-12-23T00:33:48.822-05:00Here is a link to the new lockdown regulations for...Here is a link to the new lockdown regulations for Ontario starting Dec. 26th. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-will-enter-strict-lockdown-on-dec-26-nearly-all-non-essential-businesses-to-close-1.5239810 They are not being forced to stay at home but are asked to stay home except for essential reasons and not to travel outside of their local regional and not get together with anyone that is outside of their own household members.<br /><br />I don't believe this affects other provinces, just Ontario.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-27439096882736070932020-12-22T06:41:07.308-05:002020-12-22T06:41:07.308-05:00Really not sure of Ontario’s regulations?

It certainly has been different for us this year, as it is the first time that we have been in a Muslim country over Christmas. We are so used to being in Mexico where they go all out for Christmas. We have missed seeing all the Christmas lights and decorations this year and we "sorta" miss all the Christmas music that we would hear but after a short time that music really gets old, as they always start it way too soon, lol!<br /><br />It is a shame though that we will miss the festivities that would have happened over New Year's Eve and Day. As you said we don't think any of that will be happening this year. :-(Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-49090671463315271882020-12-22T01:00:57.612-05:002020-12-22T01:00:57.612-05:00When we were watching the video of the Canadian ma...When we were watching the video of the Canadian made motorhome we had both figured the price would be around $160,000 CAD mark so we were pretty close but once you add in some of the extras that we think would be necessary to have for boondocking purposes, it becomes a lot more. Even at $155,000 CAD it is out of our price range! I think we will be getting a lot more for our money with our little European unit and I think we are going to love it. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-53051789620715115042020-12-22T00:55:02.367-05:002020-12-22T00:55:02.367-05:00Wow, that is good to hear!

However, we are still in a much better situation then many, so we will take what we have and be happy. It is sounding much better here than it is in most parts of Ontario.<br /><br />Christmas is on a Friday so we won't be locked down for that but the two days after we will be and then again for four days starting the following Thursday (New Year's Eve day).<br /><br />We don't have the backgammon game with us, it would have taken up too much room in our carry-on bags.
