This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition and 2018 edition.
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Gorgeous photos and scenery. Thanks for sharing.
My favourite is the slow motion 14 sec video clip of the water splashing up against the rocks in the Oahu album.

Anyone else with an (almost) teen daughter who has a go to song or playlist when she wants the household to know that her life is miserable?
Is it bad that it makes me laugh to myself?

And it okay to laugh a little, but keep an eye on her. Many teens struggle with depression, which is serious. History has shown me that I'm not very good at picking up on the signs.

It's March 18. I haven't worked since Feb 28.
But today is the first full day where I actually don't have anything I need to do.
So I'm currently at the gym, outside or normal busy hours, and it's amazing.
Maybe later I'll even have a nap.

My biggest family music woe is that my 12 yo son has developed a taste for dance music. Ugh. Well at least it is not country.

Just back from a family Mar break vac to Argentina. Loved Buenos Aires. And Iguazu Falls does make Niagara look meek. Every time I ordered a steak (almost everyday) seems like half a cow jumped on my plate. Wish I could speak a little Spanish.
