We went to the casino over there and put American money into the machines but when we went to cash out or get change we'd end up with Canadian money. We totally didnt understand it at all. I kept thinking I was getting ripped off since I didnt understand it! I still dont get it.Enchanted by Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939494712100587128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-13271517800077759272009-07-20T01:09:18.323-04:002009-07-20T01:09:18.323-04:00Ok excuse my American self..but what the heck are ...Ok excuse my American self..but what the heck are loonies and twoonies?!!!!

Next time *grin* you'll be a pro :)<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your trip :)oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-59111551207328849612009-07-18T00:36:28.960-04:002009-07-18T00:36:28.960-04:00I just wanted to say that last year on vacation, I...I just wanted to say that last year on vacation, I had the same problem with glasses. Two pair for outside (one to read with, one to see far with) and two pair for inside (same as above). I was constantly having to change glasses because my job as copilot on our trip was reading the map. I solved that problem. I got bifocals, just like nath said, and I love them. No line bifocals. No adjustment problems at all.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889835236361582323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-79986176931784535312009-07-17T23:40:27.734-04:002009-07-17T23:40:27.734-04:00LOL :)but at least, you're having fun :)
Ugh,...LOL :)but at least, you're having fun :)<br /><br />Ugh, well I can imagine the weather in DC... after all, it's right next to the Atlantic ocean right? <br /><br />LOL about the glasses :P Seriously, I don't see why you bought some many :P next time, bifocal :P<br /><br />As for the American money. I agree, it's annoying that you can't tell them apart right away. It might be more heavy, but I think the loonies and twonies have their use :Pnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-57766770169143781892009-07-17T21:06:28.991-04:002009-07-17T21:06:28.991-04:00DC is really humid, Kristie, so you have my sympat...DC is really humid, Kristie, so you have my sympathy. I was there once — for the National Journalism Awards — and my hair... Well, I have a lot of hair. When it's humid, it's like my hair needs its own hotel room.<br /><br />And American money... IS ugly compared to money in most places. Same thing with stamps. You'd think we could come up with something really cool. Alas!!!<br /><br />I saw a woman from Montreal in the grocery store who was lost and looking for ready-made pizza. I wanted to hug her because she made me think of you with her cute little Canadian accent. :-)<br /><br />I helped her out with the 'za (slang for pizza), grabbed a sandwich and went back to the salt mine. <br /><br />Hope you're having fun!!!Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-83425616375683808802009-07-17T20:30:51.770-04:002009-07-17T20:30:51.770-04:00It HAS been really hot the past few days.
