Grandma's Travel Plan

My mom has been checking airfare and greyhound fares everyday to look for sales so that Grandma can go to Vancouver to visit Emily. Yesterday, my mom found the Air Canada seat sale of $79 one way to Vancouver. She has booked flights for Grandma departing on March 17 and returning on April 8 (about 3 weeks). Emily and Peter will be coming to visit us over the Easter weekend. Unfortunately, the fare for the same flight is $145, so it does not work out for Grandma to come home with them.

Grandma gets tired easily and needs to increase her physical activities. However, Grandma cannot go out much as it has been very cold and the sidewalks are slippery. Today, she took advantage of the nice weather (9 C) to go out for a walk. Visiting Vancouver will give her the opportunity to go out for walks more. This is also a good time to visit because of the cherry blossoms. Grandma has wanted to see them for some time and her dream can come true this year.
