I will now go ahead and say that the answer to whether or not I will go to my tournament this year is a tentative yes.
My father has agreed to help with the biggest expense which is air fare. Thankfully PDX>YYZ isn't a hard flight to get.
Just hope the plane doesn't disintegrate.

All I can say to that is If I die on the way to a tournament, bury me like a knight, under a beautiful effigy of how I looked in my best kit. And celebrate me with wine and song and carousing.
