Making our way to California is quite an effort when you live in the small, relatively isolated, place that we do.  While booking our most recent trip to Los Angeles with a travel agent, I had to explain to her where Cranbrook was located, and how to get out of it by plane.  I don’t think she was having a very good day when I phoned her, as she seemed rather annoyed about 1. my location, 2. my limited airline options, 3. the fact that Paul and I don’t have the same last name.  After arguing with her that a one hour stop over in Calgary was NOT enough time to get through security (switching airlines takes us out of security area) and customs (damn USA), and her insistence that one hour was the “standard allowable time”, she finally relinquished and “allowed” us to be routed through Vancouver.  After all that, we had our tickets, and we left Cranbrook in a snow storm, and arrived in LA in the warm sun!  

Visiting YouTube Space LA again was great!  They have such a great group of people that keep that place running.  While there, we met up with Chef Jason Hill of the YouTube channel Chef Tips, and we decided to do a collob together.  On our channel, we make these delicous cookies and cream stuffed strawberries, and over on his channel, we make an adorable fruit turkey!  Make sure you check his channel out.
