We're holidaying in Canada later this year (25th wedding aniversary treat). I may end up with excess baggage with that much glass! Ian Anderson www.customopticalsystems.com Brian answered your first question. A 6" full thickness mirror weighs ~1kg If you plan to buy a Canadian optical set in Canada there are some things you need to know first: It takes a long time to make a good optical set. I would recommend ordering at least 3 months in advance. Sales tax varies from province to province. It will add at least 7% to the price. Unless your vacation plan takes you to the city where your optician live don't plan to pick up your optics in person. Have them shipped to your hotel. Ian Anderson Ps. Where are you planning to see? |

Ian,
Not as heavy as I thought. We're flying into Vancouver, staying a few days then driving up to Jasper, Banff etc and flying out of Calgary. We've booked our flights, now doing the rest of the planning. Any recommendations? Steve wrote in message oups.com... We're holidaying in Canada later this year (25th wedding aniversary treat).
