Save On Foods-Nanaimo

Exactly one week ago, my husband was shovelling a little snowfall from the driveway when he slipped and fell on his back. We waited until the next morning to call an ambulance as we thought it was only a few bruises.

Long story short, he has a wedge break on the T3 vertebrae in his lower back and in a ton of pain. We got home via Medi Van  but, as I don’t drive the big van anymore, and especially on the snowy/icy roads here right now, we are basically hooped.

Until…..I called my former boss at Save On Foods in Aldergrove, B.C. asking her if Save On delivered. She said yes and they were very popular. Okay, now understand I am mechanically challenged and after trying and trying to log in, I had to call for help. The young man (David) was so great and never talked down to me at all. I got on and then having to fool around for a bit, I made my order out. When it came time to pay, I spent about 45 minutes trying to find how to pay. After clicking on every inch of the screen, it finally allowed me to pay and book a time.

The young man who delivered the order was a real sweetheart and I didn’t get his name, but so polite, smiling all the while and then off he went.

The order was great with one exception. I thought I ordered a pork tenderloin and got a whole pork loin instead. Never mind says me. Cut it up and we will be fine. We have a beautiful piece for porchetta, and 6 meals of pork chops. It was a bargain.

One word…Save On please make your site a little clearer for people like me and I know I am not alone. The service is awesome and so very welcome for people in situations like us. Also….I used to work for ‘the good guys’ and still, to this day, believe they are the best for quality, selection and employees.

Hoyochi Nikko Resort, Maui

We stayed in three places this time around in Maui as booking one month together wasn’t working for us. On the third condo we hit what I could and would call is definitely paradise. The pictures are as advertised, the grounds are immaculate thanks to the daily routine of Alan. We were a few feet off the ocean and the view is more than your heart can take.

The condo we had was super clean, modern, well kept and such a pleasure to be in. The lanai was spacious and the furniture was clean, fresh and we all but lived on it. It felt like home the moment we entered and, Terry, the owner, was amazing in  her helpfulness and assistance.

There were turtles (huge) steps away and we also saw our very first mongoose. It looks like a baby weasel but wow, are they ever quick.

The feeling here is private….grounds….beach….There are very few condos here and that is what makes it so special.

I was sort of reluctant to write about this as now I know we will never be able to get in again because everyone will want to be here. Terry, don’t forget us we will be back.
