If so, where are you looking to go?

I just picked Iqaluit because that's where you can get the cheapest flights, I'm not really picky about where I go specifically. Just looking at flights from Winnipeg to Churchill on Calm Air...it came to over $900 with fees and taxes! That's nuts. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara
