So today I found the source of maple floss. They would be happy to take a bulk order. Edible Shwag?

Yes - in a multi-step process...
1. They tap maple trees to get sap.
2. they take the sap and boil it down to syrup
3. They crystallize the syrup into sugar
4. They take the sugar and run it through a modified cotton candy machine to make floss.

Best of all, there's only 10 calories per serving.

(Serving size is 1 teaspoon, but you will eat about 500 servings at a go)

Is it allergen-free?  I'm assuming it's vegan, so most attendees can eat it if not diabetic.

It's "healthy plant food, full of minerals", we will all pig out on it (there goes my carb allowance for the day).  1 tsp is a serving?  Suuuuuuuuure.

Maybe 1 tsp spins up into half a bag of floss?

There's so much air, I don't think I could really pig out on it.  Will have to have other snacks on hand, too.

What this really calls for is a formal portable Meatball Karaoke party.

I'm envisioning ball gowns, tiara's, and a crowd of people heading up the ramp of the boathouse with meatballs on sticks.

But what if you get meatsauce on your gown?
I'll just wear the ballgown that I usually wear to obstacle races...that one already has plenty of mud stains on it so a little marinara will be NBD.

This just might be my background talking, but how about drawing and quartering the person?

Then we can bribe them with the pretty picture and the small change.

I have been really enjoying the Scotia Amex (I got a 35,000 point or $350 bonus + first year free) and the TD Visa Infinite Travel cards (50,000 point or $250 bonus + first year free). DH and I both have one of each so between us, we have about $1200 off in travel with just 4 credit cards. What I particularly like about these cards is the flexibility.  I can use them to redeem even things like restaurant meals and theatre tickets and can use the points down to the last penny (no need for round numbers). I'm also not restricted to a certain hotel chain or airline - been using my points so far for Airbnb stays.

I've also earned about 7,000 Air Miles (~$700) in the last 12 months simply through bonus promotions (i.e. regular spending done strategically) and a further 3,000 Air Miles (~$300) through one credit card application (only DH applied so far - I'm waiting).

Last year's Best Western CC promo yielded 60,000 points (~$500 or more) for both DH and I.

So that's $3k in travel pretty easily. I've also done a few other things and have a few other cards, but these were the easiest IMO :)

Also have u checked out the new ultra low cost carriers Swoop and Flair? Last I checked, Swoop flies from the West Coast/East Coast to Hamilton (an easy 45min drive to camp) for about $200 round trip. I had been thinking of an East Coast trip using my Air Miles but taxes alone are $200 round trip so it seems like an ULC like Swoop is more worth it, even if the airport is a 3 hr drive away for me.

Thanks @elaine amj

I was looking at a couple of cards yesterday, and will look at putting a plan into action.

We are headed to the Moab meet up in October, so I am trying to justify a September getaway somehow!

Do we need a presenter/demo on how to properly prep skin and use a safety razor/straight razor to shave?  (Men and women can use them *everywhere* and the blades are WAY cheaper and better for your skin than the multi-blade monstrosities.)  I am trying to convince my DH that we should attend.

I'm excited to share our third breakout session:

Awesome adventures in Commonwealth travel hacking
Yes! Come prepared for a discussion about travel hacking opportunities for Canadian residents and those further afield. We will be discussing points and how those of us who are fortunate to live in Canada and elsewhere can get them (Elaine's expertise). However, there is a lot more to cheap travel than just points or credit cards, so we will also discuss other ways that travel can be more frugal (this is Deborah's side). Bring your ideas, and things you have done, and let's hack the expense out of travel! (Non-Commonweath travellers are welcome to attend, but this session will not focus on any specific US point programs)

Elaine (elaine amj) loves to hack credit cards and rewards programs to save thousands of dollars of travel every year.
(journal: https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/journals/realigning-spending-to-match-our-future-goals-a-canadian-journey/)

Deborah is attending CM*TO from Australia for the second time, so you know she has a few tricks up her sleeve on budget travel.

Ditto!  Also, I wonder if there are issues signing up for cards once FIRE -  in answer to the household income questioned - when one doesn't have any T4 income to show?

There are ways to avoid getting the income check.

Opening an account with the bank, then requesting the card (they can waive if you have a high enough $$ in your account) was something I learned.

Other sneaky ways, like upgrading and downgrading cards, instead of closing them. But I'm sure it's less effective in the amount of cards you can get (since you might no longer be able to even hit the minimum spends!)

It should be a fun discussion :) I'm really looking forward to Deb's portion!

I use a variety of ways to travel hack
- CC bonuses
- rewards programs like Air Miles
- discounted gift cards
- old fashioned deal hunting

Yeah. I’m bringing SWMBO and at least one other mustachian amigo, too. My people sent the email yesterday :)

Mustachian people are the best people. Everyone I’ve ever met at any MMM meetup has been superb. Can’t wait!

Yeah. I’m bringing SWMBO and at least one other mustachian amigo, too. My people sent the email yesterday :)

Mustachian people are the best people. Everyone I’ve ever met at any MMM meetup has been superb. Can’t wait!

Nice!

Are there still open spots? I sent an email this morning and would love to attend, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I should/need to do

Hi @runningthroughFIRE !  I see your message about bunks and that you are in the U.S. so am just waiting to hear from @elaine amj about the exchange rate, then can send you details on how to purchase bunks (same info will be coming your way too, @grantmeaname , once I receive it).

Excited to have you join us at camp!!

Excellent! I woke up to a PM from Grant about it this morning and I'm glad I didn't get excited for nothing :)

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

Cool!  I get to meet the man who started the "Best post I saw today" thread!  And his posse!

Happy to pay in canuck money too if that would be helpful (for myself or all four of us). I can send money by transferwise or something.

Got the email and replied :) Going with a 0.77 exchange rate for April based on the avg monthly rate posted by the Bank of Canada.

Can't wait to see everyone there!

It's all good! I didn't actually wake up when the message came through, I just saw it when I woke up at my normal time :)

Can I just say that my country is dumb and should just build some damn trains already? Ugh. I may be arriving by clown car.

Is there no train service convenient to where you'll be?  It's been a while since I looked but I know friends who have taken the train across the border (and bus, for that matter, though it's grubbier).

Travel hacking?

It's like 10 hours to get to Toronto from NYC but 13 to get to Brantford. 5 extra hours and something like $300 extra to take the train instead of a car.

Edited to add: I know nothing about travel hacking with Amtrak but I suspect it's as fun as hacking the social security administration.

So, did my posse just roll in and claim all five of the open bunks?
