7 Sleeps

And counting...

And i have a cold! Bleurgh! I still have lots left on the inhaler the doctor gave me last month so i am using that to hurry it along. (remember that $107 fiasco which reminds me i need to call the doctor's office again to see if she has yet filled out the authorization form).

I've narrowed down the choices of Inns if we go to Annapolis Royal to the Bread and Roses Inn or the At The Turret Inn though am leaning towards the Bread and Roses because of the four poster canopy beds. They both have availability and are around the same price with full breakfast.

( History lesson for the day )

Annapolis Royal has 135 heritage buildings (and you know how much i like architecture) and some of the oldest wood frame buildings in Canada and it's a National Historic Site now. There are quite a few beautifully restored buildings from the 1700's and 1800's, many of which are still functioning as inns, churches, and the courthouse as well. And just looking at the local attractions, Wahey! They have a Computer Museum! Oh i am SO there!

Rip off artists

Oh yeah, i meant to mention yesterday how much Scotiabank suck. I took in $110 in rolled coin to change into paper money. I've taken it there a few times before as it's conveniently the bank in the mall of the complex here. Yesterday i was told there is a $.12 a roll FEE for doing this if you aren't a Scotiabank customer! Not a new charge. First i've heard of it. He didn't charge me yesterday but if he had been about to charge me, i would have taken myself across the road to CIBC instead and will in future i think. Overall it would have been 1.3% against the total because of the denominations but when you think about it, 12 cents against a 50 cent roll of pennies is nearly 25% fee! Lucky it wasn't all in rolls of pennies isn't it? i had various, a roll of $2 coins, quarters, dimes, nickels and only 2 rolls of pennies. They said if you didn't have an account with them they wouldn't have any recourse if the count of coins turned out to be wrong. Just one more example of how the banks suck the life out of the customers. I don't know if the other banks do it but i've found Scotiabank overly particular and fee-laden in the past as well.
