Snags already?!?!?

8 Days

A Weekend Apart

Bye Bye, cold snowy canada
Nothing interesting happened on my way to note except that I ended up forgetting my laptop battery at my friend's house in Winnipeg. I figure it will cost me about $300.00 to get her to send it here and I have no idea if its worth the extra hassle...what ...
WE HAVE A FEATURED PHOTO!

Winnipeg.....Of All Places (Pt I)
... small plane fear once again? To catch a Northwest Airline 'link' from Minneapolis to Winnipeg. And why Winnipeg? Because I was there to be re-united with Team Canada from Tasmania. Since I set out on this year away I'd found myself becoming more and more ...
Welcome to Canada!

I Don't Think we're in Ontario no More...
... a decent dance floor, and the Gentlemen¡¯s Club was for well, gentlemen. We flounced around the frozen streets of downtown Winnipeg, abysmally underdressed despite the balmy conditions, a low of a mere -9¢ªc, considering this time of year was ...
Coming to you 32,000 feet in the air
(3:00pm EST) I'll keep this short and sweet but folks we have FREE Sapporo and free wine for the next 13 hours... Alex has already bowed down to his dreams of whimsy and Southeast Asian delights. We are arriving (or so our flight attendant, Will Ferrell, ...

GOING HOME
... our papers and went out the door. That was easy! We got some money, bought a snack and waited for the flight to Winnipeg. Wow, what a difference on domestic flights, they serve pop, juice, tea, coffee or water free. You can buy snacks, ...
Across the prairies to Winnipeg
Left the mountains behind yesterday to travel east across the prairies to Winnipeg. Here we will visit Diane's family before beginning the trip south. The weather was foggy, rainy, grey..... just like home. Some ice on the roads in Saskatchewen and some ...

Like Home
Saw the flat, flat patterns of fields and the huge, clear sky from the air and knew that I was really home. And that was really my mum at the bottom of the escalator. And there was my friend Sandra with her new baby. And all was right with the ...
Travel day
The one problem that I have so far with traveling light and solo, is that I have no one to watch my bags for me while I go to the washroom or want to go for a quick walk to stretch my legs. But the pay off is 1)Don't have to worry about missing or late ...
