Last day in Canada
This is a top pick! ... may not have any time to sort my photos, so there may be quite a few on the site. Well this is my last day in Canada before my adventures begin. I leave today at 2pm. I've had a great time during the past few weeks hanging out with everyone, it's been ...
Home Again, Home Again
This morning there wasn't any snow when we woke up! Hooray!! It was precipitating although it was Scotch Mist-like. The Fairfield Inn had a great breakfast - similar to what we have become accustomed to but also just a little more - like oatmeal already ...
And we're off!!!
After spending the majority of the day packing, we headed out to Michelle's mom's in Mississauga to say our goodbyes. It's almost surreal... after all these months of waiting, we are finally on our way. In just under 4 hours, the first leg of our trip ...
So Far So Good.....or Not So Good - Part 2
... , re-book flights, make arrangements for accommodations, wondering what the he*# just happened. I have to say this: if you ever fly Air Canada in the winter, buy the "On My Way" package. $25-$35/ticket and it's handy. They re-booked our flight and found ...
Home Sweet (?) Home
Well, I'm home. The trip has come full circle. I'm home, I even went into work today to see my schedule. So I'm back. I start work again on Tuesday (with the crappiest shift ever, but meh). In retrospect, my trip was amazing. Seriously, a chance in a ...
PR Meeting, Denise's party
So, now I'm in the hotel lobby after a completely exhausting day of Girl Guide public relations mumbo jumbo. I don't want to say that these types of bureaucratic meetings are pointless, but I have been to quite a few and don't seem to accomplish ...
Phase II of Plan C
Saturday, February 9 You will recall that the original plan Plan A, if you will, was to leave YHZ today to YUL (Montreal) then direct to LAX. BUT the storm of the decade messed that up so we headed out on Friday Plan B, to Toronto then on to ...
Fun and Frolic's at Lisa's House
My first cousin once removed, Lisa Armstrong, invited us to her house for a pool party. The last time I saw Lisa, I was only 18 months old and it was at my uncle's wedding. All the nearby relatives were invited and we had a really fantastic time getting ...
Udany wylot - 3rd attempt
Wpis by Bartek: po trzech probach udany wylot. Proba 1: za brak udokumentowanego wylotu na czas z Zimbabwe nie wposcili na samolot Proba 2: sniezyca i zmiana lotu przez londyn zamiast nowy york Proba 3: w niedziele w nocy - udana ...
t-8 hrs and 38 minutes until liftoff
well i've only got a couple more hours left in Canada before i'm off to travel Europe for 2 months. I have packed and it looks like way more than i thought it would be. I will arrive into Heathrow tomorrow in the evening of England time and i'll be ...
Mississauga
Taalla Mississaugassa ollaan oltu viikonlopun yli mun kaverin Sharonin luona. Lauantaina oltiin koko paiva ostoskeskuksessa joka oli niin iso ettei puoliakaan varmaan nahty kunnolla. Aivan mieleton siis :) Illalla kaytiin leffassa ja hengailtiin muuten ...
Meet The Smiths
... film ‘The Eagle’ last night. A cosy arrangement of Margaret, Mum, and me in the back of the Quattro led for a warm ride home before we all collapsed with smuggled Dairy Milk chocolate and watched the Royals’ visit to ...
Blinkin' Raccoons!
I put the bins out last night, which, apart from slaying the Japanese beetles, watering the garden, and feeding Pumpkin, was one of my only major tasks; I'd been assured that racoons had only knocked over the bins once and not to worry too much. So I ...
The Smiths Have Landed
... -door car, again done with no damage to the vehicle or anyone’s hips. We arrived back in the streets of Mississauga without too much Toronto traffic holding us back, and as I lifted the loaded suitcases upstairs to the sound of Dad’s ...
True Grit
... time. My attempt at baking was done alongside a return to that pastime of the Gods, weeding; fortunately the weeds in Mississauga were a lot shallower than those in Alberta, but a tea and cake break on the new bistro set was welcomed ...
Lost On The 13th
... office to apply for Margaret’s first Canadian passport I had a wander around the Square One shopping centre in Mississauga; hearing Daniel got lost in there made me more than a little apprehensive, especially as he single-handedly navigates his way ...
We Just Want To Watch A Film!
A week of sweltering heat began today; 32° was today's peak, whilst Thursday is supposed to reach a whopping 37°. Considering I melted as soon as I stepped outside the door, I dread to think if I’ll come out of Thursday alive. I managed ...
Coffee Cake: Are All The Clues In The Name?
Pumpkin nearly fulfilled the prophecy about curiosity killing the cat this morning when he pushed the bedroom door open in search of an awakened human to keep him company; luckily I'd remembered where I was and didn’t panic too much about the ...
Corruption In The East
As the sun poked its early morning rays through the blind I caught sight of the power lines and transformers now occupying the landscape; gone were the lakes and trees of yesterday, to be replaced by the trappings of city life. Whilst the slight ...
The Countdown is on........
I bid "au revoir" to my travel-passionate work colleagues at Butterfield & Robinson Wednesday, drove to Gananoque, Ontario yesterday due to the death of a close friend and today packed our bags while outside we experienced the worst storm of the ...
Art Galleries, Cora's, and Yummy Curry
... a bad night and kept Margaret and Daniel up so it was a good job it was. We went out to Cora's for breakfast, a chain in Canada that serves waffles with custard and cream, crepes, and pancakes, as well as the good old English. I wanted to get something I ...
Cool It!
Yesterday saw an unbelievable high of 37°; 47° with humidity. I didn't believe it was possible to be so hot, needless to say no running took place, in fact when I did venture out twice to learn how to use the lawnmower and then to water the plants, ...
Pesky Japanese Beetles!
Whilst I may have been awake nice and early, or simply at a more reasonable time than after nine, I didn't venture too far from bed as Pumpkin decided it was a good opportunity to come and curl up beside me, and who was I to stop him? With the purring ...
Backpacker's Heaven
It's fair to say that my second encounter with Megabus was even worse than my first: not only did the bus fail to turn up until forty-five minutes after it was due, but this load was almost full, meaning I had to stand amongst pigeon poop and native New ...
They Always Come In Threes
... buses torn open like sardine cans flashed across the news to reveal just some of the horror as it unravelled. Back in Mississauga I was promoted to dead-header in the Garden of Eden at Lorne Park, unfortunately that meant making decisions about which ...
The Countdown is On
It's February 1 and Super Bowl Sunday. It's been a beautiful day - sunny and temperatures above freezing for the first time in nearly a month! We've started preparations to leave winter behind and head south. Richard was shoveling snow and ice off the ...
Motorcycling to Toronto
... loves you whether you like it or not" and stuff like that. It was totally great. I also vaguely knew how to get to Mississauga by using the 400-series highways, so if I got lost somewhere in the backwoods of central Ontario, I'd be able to get there ...
