June 7th 2012 Published: June 7th 2012 EDIT THIS ENTRY Total Distance: 0 miles / 0 km Mouse: 0,0 My trips to Tunisia Chantal and I travelled by car from Swift Current to Regina airport and from Regina airport all the till Tunis airport in Tunisia. It was long trips.
Tunisian Couscous My friend from Tunisia prepared this food for us at our house. It was in summer. Our friends always making a good food every times they invited us to their place here in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada. Sometimes when they invited us, Oualid and Mouna make Tunisian specialities, such as Couscous, Tajine, cakes and Pastries. They are delicious food and healthy food too.
One day, Oualid and Mouna asked Chantal and me to visit his home country, Tunisia; it’s located in the North Africa and later they came to show us online seattle hotel deals about Tunisia and what to visit. They also pointed out about where they are from on the map on the Internet. A few days later, Oualid and Mouna found special seattle hotel deals airfares on the Internet with Air France and the airfares seattle hotel deals must be purchased before the dead line on Dec. 29 th , 2011. Sounds good to me...I said only $748.96/person (Note: a dollar sign indicates in Canadian dollar). The airfares for a round trip only, travelling from Toronto-Paris-Tunis. So, Chantal and I agreed to buy the plane tickets seattle hotel deals for the two of us and they have to buy theirs. Before though, I have to book my vacation at work and asked my department manager to accept my vacation right away and told the reason why. I Kamel, Chantal seattle hotel deals and me booked my vacation from March 15 th -29 th , 2012, which I had enough for the vacation pay. So, Chantal went to Oualid and Mouna’s apartment on Sunday, 18 th Dec. 2011 to book the flight for us and they did it. I got an e-mail messages that was forwarded to me on Monday, 19 th Dec. 2011 by Chantal and the messages’ subjects seattle hotel deals that one message that read “Confirmation de votre reservation” and the other message that read “AHMAD MUSLIM AHMAD MUSLIM MR(ADT) et accompagnant(s), votre voyage du 15/03/12, and travel companion(s), your trip on 15/03/12”. I had all the information about the traveling with the Air France, the airfares, luggage and so on.
The total airfares for the two of us with Air France were $1497.92 included the tax. We had a problem that we have to travel from Swift Current to Regina by car or by bus (total cost about the same) and park our car in the airport parking lot (it will be expensive for over a week to park the car there) and then from Regina airport to Toronto airport by plane. seattle hotel deals So, we decided to take our car to Regina airport that day. We Fruits Market in Ezzahra booked on Monday, 6 th Feb. our Air Canada flights from Regina to Toronto seattle hotel deals for travelling on Thursday, 15 th Mar. And total cost for the two of us with Air Canada was $1256.58. Look how much different from Air Canada with Air France, this is ridiculously seattle hotel deals too high just travelling inside Canada alone.
seattle hotel deals I had a problem and the problem was that I didn’t apply a tourist visa at the Tunisian Consulate in Montréal, Québec as soon as possible because I didn’t what I was thinking off. Anyway, the time came finally to apply the visa. I needed it in order to travel and stay in Tunisia because I am not a Canadian citizen, but I’m an Indonesian citizen. All Indonesian citizens must apply a visa to travel to Tunisia, so there I was needed it. The visa must be applied seattle hotel deals before the departure and at least it will take a month. So, I contacted the Tunisian embassy in Ottawa on Tuesday, 24 th January 2012 and told them that I need a tourist visa to travel to Tunisia and someone there told me to contact the Tunisian Consulate in Montréal and she gave me the phone number of the consulate. Casa Tradicional de Dar el Annabi I phoned the consulate at the same day and told them that I need a tourist visa because I wasn’t a Canadian citizen, but I’m an Indonesian citizen and a lady there gave me an e-mail address to use it as a way to contact them later. So, she gave me the e-mail address and then I e-mailed her. Right away, she e-mailed me back with instruction seattle hotel deals on the attachment that she included. I opened the e-mail and download seattle hotel deals the attachment and scanned the instruction on how to apply the tourist visa. It was a simple one; I had to take a passport size picture at the Photoworks by Laura on 6 th Ave. NE in Swift Current. I had a photo taken at the Photoworks by Laura on January 24 th and cost me $16.45 and then I filled in the visa application form. On Thursday, 26 th January 2012, Chantal and I went to the post office-Pharmasave store to sent the application to Tunisian Consulate that was addressed to: Consulate de la République Tunisienne, 1255 rue Université, Suite 300, Montréal, QC, H3B 2B4 and Tél: (514) 844-6909, Fax: (514) 844-5895; Courriel: ctmontreal@bellnet.ca .
On March 5 th , I tried to contact the Lunch with Tunisian family in Ezzahra consulate in Montréal by e-mail to see if the visa is ready or not because it was one month already after I applied the tourist visa, so I just wondered about it. I was worried about the visa, maybe I will go to Tunisia or not and then I have to cancel the flights and lose some money. So, we were thinking to go or not, go later and Chantal goes now or use the air plane tickets later before one year when the ticket is overdue. Something like that, our thoughts were. So, I let the days passing seattle hotel deals by till one day before Chantal and I have to travel on the 15 th of March, Oualid and Mouna were going to talk about my visa request to the consulate because at that time they were there for his conference in Montréal until their vacation come together with us in Tunisia.

Chantal also contacted the Air France and Air Canada for me to change my flights.
My previous flights were booked from Regina to Toronto and Toronto to Paris to Tunis, but now have changed. My flights now, from Regina seattle hotel deals to Toronto, Toronto seattle hotel deals to Montréal, Montréal to Paris, Paris to Tunis and on the way back was stayed as we booked earlier. All these troubles cost me an extra money to change with Air Canada, $75 (to change) and $101.12 (total fare to Montréal) and with Air France, I paid more $630.70. Grand total of all troubles was $806.82. Finally all set up, my flights was changed from Regina seattle hotel deals to Toronto on March 15 th and to Montréal the same day, but from Montréal to Paris and to Tunis was the next day on March 16 th and the good thing was that on the way back from Tunis to Regina, we could be seated together with Chantal on the planes.

The Société de transport de Montréal, STM card was very convenience to use to travel around the city and the busses are everywhere in Montréal, so it was very good.
