Can anyone pass along some advice on the best strategy for booking a flight home? I am currently living in Italy (Rome, Florence, Pisa area) and would like to fly home this summer. I have found that booking a few months ahead of the date usually gives me great price advantage. However this year I noticed that prices are rather high. Would this be due to the current market situation? Last year I found roundtrip flights for € 400 which included all taxes about 1 month before my flight date and it was for July - high season. This year I began in February and the prices are on average € 800 for end of July flights.   Any comments.

Thanx in advance. Much appreciated. Toscanad

I am the coach of the buckhurst hill lacrosse club and I am looking for people interested in playing lacrosse. I arrived from Canada over xmas and have found a large commitment problem from current players, ie most players to show up for a game thus far 11, most to a practice 6. If you have played before or are interested in picking up a great game, email me. I can have you on the field tomorrow. 2 games this weekend, 1 sat 1 sun, come out and get in the game. If you need gear we can outfit you with everything you need. North American players who have been without since moveing here are more then welcome.

Thanks

I live in Southern Germany Black Forest (the days of CFB Baden & CFB Lahr). Anybody else down this neck of the woods?

I am looking to read about your feelings, thoughts, and emotions in a short story, essay and/or poem about Canada.

Write from the heart please...! If I get enough together, I will then put the stories together and make them available...!

Looking forward to the read...

Take care...

Hey, wonderded if anyone can help me.  I having been livng and working in Europe for the pass 8 years using an EU passport. My canadian passport expired 18 months ago but I have not been able to find out what one need to renew a passport when its issue date is over 5 years.  Will I still be able renew my passport in say Norway if its that old?  I have my canadian birth certificate and old ontario drivers licence with me, will this be enough?  Does anyone have any thoughts? Please help. going home in a few months and as I am moving back I kind of want to enter the country as a canadian.

Melissa,

Living abroad & outside of the US means you will probably have to complete the entire process.  This means you are aren't renewing but simply applying for a new passport.  Here is a link to Passport Canada's information for Canadians living abroad: http://www.ppt.gc.ca/cdn/form.aspx?lang=eng&region=international
