Planning an African safari in Kenya? Gear up at U.N. Luggage first…read more Here's the detail that nearly sank me. The weight limit on domestic flights inside Africa is 15 kg per person. Not per bag. Per person. I worked that out two weeks before we flew, standing in my bedroom looking at a hard shell suitcase that was already over the limit empty. So I drove down to U.N. Luggage at 175 McDermot here in Winnipeg and threw the whole problem at them. Jon and his crew were terrific. They laid out the realistic options instead of steering me at the priciest thing on the wall, and I landed on the Osprey Sojourn Shuttle with wheels. Worth knowing my situation: I'm close to 300lbs with size 15 feet, so "fits all my clothes and all my shoes" and "comes in under 15 kg" normally fight each other. Not this time. That bag went to Kenya completely full and still made weight. BOOM. The extras ended up mattering as much as the bag did. I picked up carry on approved bottles so I could bring my own shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste, and then there were the Eagle Creek compression cubes, which I'd put near the top of anything I've ever bought for travelling. I have ADHD, and packing has always been my least favourite job on earth, because three days in my bag is a disaster. With the cubes, every shirt rolls into one, you squash it flat, and you can put your hand on anything in seconds. Big guy note for anyone like me: I assumed I'd need the Large and I didn't. Small and Medium with the mesh fronts did the entire job, roughly three to five items per cube. Out on the walking safari through Tsavo West and Tsavo East, three more things earned their place every single day. The Osprey 3L water bladder. A travel towel e sack. And a daypack that folds away insideitself. One last thing. We stuck Canadian flag pins on everything so nobody mistook us for Americans. :-D I'm genuinely delighted with all of it. The advice at U.N. Luggage made the whole trip easier. Thank you.

I saw this Bentley store and decided to browse around. I didn't need anything, but it was fun to check this place out. If you do need a handbag or a carry-on bag because yours died for some reason, you can find one here. There were a few deals happening, such as 30% off leather handbags. There were luggage deals. One piece was going for 40% off. Another was 25% off its regular price. I still don't own a neck pillow. You can get two of them for $35 here. That's not bad. A single neck pillow goes for $20 at Winners. This store was nicely organized. It appealed to curious shoppers like me who needed to kill some time. I enjoyed browsing around. It's good to know that this store is here. (262)

After I had breakfast at Ben & Florentine, I decided to drop by Giant Tiger (GT) in the same plaza…read more I needed drinks. I like the prices at GT. GT will always have a soft spot in my heart, especially when I visit one in Winnipeg. My introduction to this franchise occurred when Winnipeg got its first store on Donald Street, at Ellice Avenue, when I lived in the city. It's still there! It was raining. I decided to hop in my rental vehicle and find a closer parking spot to the store. I didn't have an umbrella. I found a spot steps away and dashed into the store. It was Canada Day. I saw a lot of festive merchandise, from water bottles, to tank tops. I was sporting a Canada cap. It kept my head dry. I liked the clearance section. This store had a lot of great deals. With a brisk wind on the coolest day during my vacation, I needed something to keep me warm while taking in the Canada Day celebrations later on in the evening. I found a lightweight long-sleeved top with a floral pattern for $5. It was roomy to wear on top of my t-shirt and the sleeves were the perfect length. Such a steal! I was happy. I liked the bucket hats at this store. I was content with my cap that I didn't get one. The grocery section was great. I loved looking at bagged apples and lemons, and a variety of baked goods. I went to the beverages section. A six-pack of bottled Coke zero was on sale. Sold! This store had gigantic Squishmallows. They were cute, but one would fit my entire luggage if I didn't compress it down. At the checkout, I got Lawrence. He was competent and efficient. He asked me if I needed a bag. I declined and said that I was good. I paid with a credit card. My items were just over $10. Insane! I wore my long-sleeved top when I was taking in the Canada Day celebrations from roughly 6 pm till 9 pm in an open stadium. It kept me warm and it was comfy to wear. I liked shopping at this store. I'd head back again when I'm in the St. James area. (298)

I doubt we will use them again if needed. This was very upsetting for my wife as she was the person that rode in the van with my mother and she hung onto Mom, the driver asked if the wheelchair was locked, yes it was, but the driver was rushing, she drove out the entrance. The driver for the return trip back to the nursing home, pushed Mom to the van, used 2 tethers and front belts. He was very pleasant.

There was lots of parking. I backed into a spot and walked in. What stands out is a decent number of Kipling bags. I didn't need any, but they had smaller ones at this store. Finding them made me happy. The housewares section was also enjoyable to browse. I liked everything from silicone ice cube trays, to glass drinkware. The shoe department was great. The selection of women's size 11 shoes made me happy. I liked the sneakers. In the men's section, it had Airwalk sneakers. I hadn't seen those in ages! Before I left, I had to check out the phone accessories section. I like getting PopSockets at reasonable prices. This store had some styles that I had never seen before. I also saw my first MagSafe charger at any Winners store. It was exciting to me spotting a technology unicorn. I enjoyed browsing around. I'd return again when I'm in the area. Maybe I'll find something that I end up purchasing next time. (288)
