    We don't have it in Quebec, but lucky for me, I work in Ottawa, just gives me a free day out of my vacation that won't affect my vacation bank at work :happy:

    They are probably all flocking to the US to drive erratically and go shopping!

    I'm going to clean some eaves troughs, insulate the wall under the stairs, mow the lawn, pick up dog poopies, clean the house, have a fire in the backyard and drink some wine. I'm also going to go to a pow wow tomorrow (my first ever)

    We don't get the Monday holiday in NL because on Wed (Aug 7th) we have our local Regatta - closes the city. So we get one, not both.

    I was just about the say pretty well the same thing! :)

    I've started my holidays today and go back August 12th so my long WEEK shall consist of spending tomorrow and Sunday at an RV park, no major plans Monday, taking in some dinner and live music at an Irish Pub downtown on Tuesday, Regatta on Wednesday then returning to another RV park Thursday through Sunday! :)

    No real plans so I'm imagining a weekend filled with working out, cleaning house and just doing whatever I feel like doing. Here's hoping some of the renovations my landlord has started will continue.

    Im also hoping to watch some football with the boys. The CFL is a lot more fun to watch than the NFL.

    Proudly Canadian here but that's a blatant lie. Canadian football is HORRIBLE! Thank God Real football is coming back this month!

    going to america

    Just curious. Is this the common reference for you guys if you are coming down here? If not, what other terms do you use? It just struck me when I saw this answer. :smile:

    When I lived in Alaska we called it the "lower 48".

    I hear it a bit though the most common one around here is going to the States.

    I've generally always heard the U.S. referred to as The States. Don't know anyone who calls it America.

    'Merica!

    Im going to try a stay-cation. Do day trips all over Vancouver island. On this list is caving at horne lake, horse back riding the trans Canada trail, and floating down the cowichan river. (if I can find my dog's life jacket) Oh and I want to have a sushi day, so don't be shocked if I log copious amounts of sushi.

    Fun fun and more fun of course! Still broken so no dirt biking for me.... But I will be out enjoying the beautiful weather and outdoors some how. BUT, today major house cleaning and food prep for friends coming over for a BBQ tonight.

    Happy long weekend to all of my fellow Canadians who have one... Happy August to everyone else! May everyone stay safe and have a most excellent time.
