Are you prepare for Canada?

Are you prepare for 

Canada?

Don't worry about it. You can go to Canada, but warn you that they are not cheap. 

Like mine did in Montreal, the money is not the same and that's pound dollars that you don't know. 

Example, 7.99$ Can ($7.72 USD) a combo of McDonald's. $4.79 US a combo of McDonald's.  

When I need a gas and pump it up I see 139.$ pound as $2.79 (USD) with 20 dollars, it was still 3/4 gallon that would not enough. It would be fill up that would be 45$ pound Can. I usual to use gas with $3.29 gas it would be filled with $31 dollars. Canada has "ripped off" with 5% to 10% profit. 

If you want to exchange USD to Canada dollars, go to your bank and will not cost you- instead go there in Canada, they will cost you 5% to exchange the money from USD to Can dollars. 

Ripped off. 

I've lots of learning about exchange money between in USA and Canada business. WHOA. 

Be different, the people of Montreal are sometime not nicely. Because of that they are not share you, if my car battery went died, I trying to get some help, to the strangers to see if they would help... NO. They wont help. French Police can't HELP... HUH!? You better get AAA membership card in the case. Roughly. You can imaged that what if I call tow truck to aid me for start jumping, it would be 45$ Can it means $43 dollars. Called Taxi to see if they have battery machine, it would be cost me 25$ Can. ($23.20 USD)
In US, start jumping is sometime FREE, I re-checked my incorrect, in USA tow service is $50 dollars for start jumping. 

Go figures. 

In the museum, at Botanical Garden of Montreal cost 30$ Can ($29.00 USD) and 1967 Olympic Dome with Bio Zoo museum cost about 22$ Can ($19.33)

At the Old downtown of Montreal that I bought 25$ Can dollars for 3 shirts with 2.99$ for meg picture, total 33 dollars. 

Confuse money in Canada. Be careful. 

I suggest you to go Kahnawake where the PowWow lives, there are few bed and breakfast to sleep. It is VERY cheap and safe place to sleep and go. 75 dollars a room. My hotel in Montreal, is 139 dollars.   

If you interested to go Montreal Canada, I recommended you to go Kahnawake- under name Riverside Inn. His name is Ken Deer. He is sweetest person to deaf people!! He's very concerned about us last time. I appreciated him lots. 

Learn about in Kahnawake History. It's value to go there.

Gordon Ramsay Steakhouse

Gordon Ramsay Steakhouse

known of aka

HELL'S KITCHEN

Gordon Ramsay

...You love him. You don't love him. You love him. You don't love him. You love him...

Now he's back for another season 11. On March 12, 2013, Tues at 7/8pm ET on Fox channel.

http://www.parislasvegas.com/restaurants/gordon-ramsay-steak.html#.USwAwBzgIwl

He is very prefect chef for anyone who feel like want to make people happy to eat, feel like you are in heavenly, or feel like you are rich to eat up. 

Through time we watch him on TV name "Kitchen Nightmares" in U.S. That is very impressive for him to investigating the restaurants before the worse nightmares from health inspector or lose of the businesses, he don't allow that happen - He gave lots of drama with the restaurant owners with call wake ups and change the restaurants, the menus, systems, team, and important to communicate with the people by cheers and positive than annoyed. They must do the practice with these people's satisfied and happy. 

He is OKAY to give his temper, normally he is British guy, and very professional chef. He is sometime go to Food channel for "The Iron Chef" to challenged the chefs, in America and the International. 

We must love about his FOOD instead his temper and drama on the background, we can look at there the contestants that show how best for us people at Gordon Ramsay's Steakhouse in NV. 

I learned about the prices are VERY expensive ($$$) That between 12 to 200 dollars per person. 

Next time, When DeafNation come back for Deaf Expo again, you will need to make booked table about 2 to 8 people on the table. Maybe it's 12 people. 

Be prepare.

The Queen Mary: Haunted?

The Queen Mary

San Diego, California

Hello, Deaf Travelers! 

I bet you love to travel across the America, yeahhh, I know it's October, the haunted events. Don't worry, you wont be freak out yet.

As long as very cute, small freaky... best for travel vacation, Why not, The Queen Mary? I read about Ghost Hunters, actually disappeared about the Queen Mary debunks. Disqualify from real haunted landmarks.

Don't worry, The Queen Mary business wont give up, of course, this boat is lovable, romance for anyone. It's specialized for couples. I see that they have special program for kids, too.

Go there at The Queen Mary.

The Olde' Gettyburg Town!

The Olde' Gettyburg Town! 

I know you meaning that not want to go out too cold for the Christmas. I don't see any good spirits of Christmas in Gettyburg! Why not?

I reviewed that there are so many popularly shopping that are all most homemade things that you like to use. Old time's sake. That is old traditional!! Things are awesome shopping they are work hard to show you very impressive display out there on the Christmas Spirits. 

If it's snow, I would go there and walk around look up outside and at the window of the shop many toys and good things and to see snow fits for White Christmas traditional!  Why not stay there for one or two nights out and have some good soups and hot chocolate. I recommended that Bed and Breakfast Inns are the best thing to stay! Why? They have lots of Christmas traditional in these house and food, of course, the bar! Give it try! 

There are few B&B inns name  The Cashtown Inn. (http://www.cashtowninn.com/) and, The Gaslight Inn (http://www.thegaslightinn.com/), another inn, James Gettys Hotel (http://www.jamesgettyshotel.com/) and there are more in the information: http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/gettysburg-pennsylvania.html  I know... it's expensive but it's worthy to go.  Must see there are very small downtown with lots of lights of Christmas! 

Don't worry about that... Ghosts are still around in Gettysburg, too! You can visit there anywhere where the battlefields still open in the season. Visit the Gettysburg Battlefield Open season: November to March 8am to 5pm. April to October 8am to 6pm. Remember, Few days early can closed before Thanksgiving, Christmas, Happy New Year's Day are all closed. 

That's these Gettysburg people's choice.

What do you think?

Murfreesboro, Arkansas!!

Crater of Diamonds

State Park! 

How true about the Diamonds in Murfreesboro, Arkansas! You are lucky that you are living in United States and digging the diamonds if you can be lucky to find but it would take long time... to collect and make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. May be happen to you. 

Why lucky? you can dig it up some diamonds INSTEAD in Africa where the most diamonds, with death of your willfully if you go there. If you want to go Africa and dig the diamonds, The diamonds hunters/bounty/security/or soldiers will "bam" you dead already. 

You can go spend your time at the weekend, how depends on seasons to open in the State Park out there. 

You don't have to worry... about your children! Your children can go swimming pool in the State Park.
