Got my gift cards from Lee Valley Tools - Cyber Monday deals. Last night at 9:00 pm (12 midnight EST). Woo hoo!

Some stuff sold out in minutes, like their planes.

I was going to grab a pair of the Bose Soundsport wireless headphones for working out regular $199.99 and today on sale $169.99 on amazon.ca..... but checked the USA site before buying and it’s $99.99USD on there!!! Canada getting fucked up the ass as usual. Bought it from there instead and sent to PR.

total of $444. That decent deal? Or should I wait Friday? It also doesn't come with a magic pro.
I just picked up the DR750S-1CH from blackboxmycar for $304.99 plus tax. I've had my previous Blackvue for a year and a half and loved it other then always having to take out the microsd card. Funny because I was going to go with the DR650S since it was onsale for the same price oddly enough.

Anker as said, a 10000mAh is a good one, but I just picked up the Anker Powercore Fusion, which is only 5000, but also doubles as a wall charger that charges your stuff, then itself. Really cuts down on clutter.

Memory express has one for 169
for the upgrade to be worthwhile I would go for at least 1050 ti

the rx 560 if you have a freesync monitor

Did you get this price? What dates did you book for?

I tried a few of the dates given as an example last night and kept getting over $1200

i wanted 6 days in oct, it was only available at $800ish from Vancouver or $600ish for 2-3 weeks from victoria

i got it through expedia for around 730 from victoria thanksgiving weekend for 6 days (you get 6 full days...but sundays are kinda rest day in Polynesia where no shops are opened etc.)

stops in vancouver/lax and i'll ask ac if I can just get on at vancouver...if not it's kinda of a hassle (but for return I'll get off at vancouver and forfeit the victoria leg)

i know last black friday 700ish was already considered a smoking deal

2-3 weeks might seem long but you can island hop around (the lesser known cook islands, or to tahiti/fiji)..i don't have that luxury with work as I'm already anticipating another 4 weeks off

almost booked flights last night after seeing your post...was going to flyout of victoria at $653 each, and ya just got take the flight from van back over

just could pull the trigger....honestly the accommodation options there don't really look that appealing for the price. $100 a night gets you someones like basic looking suite/house on air BNB and the "nice" resorts are WAAAYY more

but in the end it's about the scenery and it looks amazing, have fun

I wouldn't expect it to be comparable to SE asia, dollar-for-dollar

but if easter isl. was anything to go by, basic accommodation and expensive food will be worth it
