[[Oliver]], [[Catherine]] and I, along with my [[Mom]] and [[Dad]], are taking a short vacation to Lisbon, Portugal next week over Oliver’s spring school break.
It’s a last-minute trip with destination inspired partly by all-time low overseas Air Canada fares, partly by a desire to renew our acquaintance the country we grew to love so much last year.
As last year, we used Holiday-Rentals.co.uk to find ourselves a base for the week in Lisbon (we’re now die hard adherents of so-called slow travel — it’s such a pleasant alternative to old-school “different city every night” style travel).
We’ve got lots of exciting plans for our week (Oliver is very excited to know there’s a toy museum); I also hope to be able to have a coffee with Pedro (my [[Plazes]] unofficial evangelical counterpart in Portugal). And Dan and Becky will overlap with us for a day, so we’ll have to have an overseas “Gong Bao Thursday on Monday in Lisbon” with them and impart our accumulated Lisbon knowledge so as to prepare them for their all-too-short two day stay.

And the carbon cost?
And the carbon cost?
The carbon cost for the 12
The carbon cost for the 12,090 km air journey for Catherine, Oliver and I, according to The CarbonNeutral Company, is 3.9 tonnes.
We paid $63 to offset the carbon — admittedly an imperfect solution to a greater problem — supporting the One World portfolio.
