Holiday Inn Winnipeg-Astoria (Hwy 75), Mb

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

I thought it would probably be a good idea to start blogging now and get into a big of a habit with it.<br> <br>So I have been in Winnipeg just over 24 hours now and so far so good, I'm not running out of here straight to the airport just yet! Everyone has been so lovely and have gone out of their way to help and and answer all our questions which has been really nice.<br><br>So starting at the beginning, obviously saying goodbye to everyone was hard but my ...

... didn't go up the CN tower as the weather really hasn't been good enough to spend $21 on it. I managed to get a good picture of it though during a 2 minute break in the cloud cover. All of Eastern Canada has had a pretty **** summer weather-wise. Lots of rain, fog, low cloud and humidity. I was lucky in some places, not so lucky elsewhere. By the way, the other strike involving city employees was settled on Monday night, so clearing up ...

... and easier. <br><br><br>I am so glad that I brought along my netbook as I have downloaded all episodes of Arrested Development and it kills time while I wait for my connection in Toronto. I probably look like the creepy person that everyone is hoping that they don't sit beside on the plane, as I am smiling from ear to ear watching it. It is a very funny show if you haven't seen it yet. I think I ...

... And please don't say "where's Nickleback?"....they suck!!! It is Matt Mays, Jason Collett (ahhh Jason Collett!), Hayden, Hawksley Workman, the Weakerthans, Wintersleep, Ladyhawk, Arcade Fire all the way!! So to make a long story short, I think I am ready. The next few days will be relaxing, spending time with Hartley, and I am sure I will end up checking and rechecking my bags and its contents a few more times!

... battle. I tredged about a km down the highway and walked across the turn off and found a spot just outside a little truck stop. One hour passed, no luck. Two hours passed... still no luck. Three hours gone and never to come back into my life. Four hours of my life spent standing in one spot. Finally a car pulled over, I walked up to the window, but instead another guy got out. I was a bit baffled until I realised the guy was dropping off another ...

Only an hour and a half before I leave for the airport, and, barring any delays, 4.5 hours until my flight leaves for London. The flight is about eight hours long, most of which I'm hoping to sleep through. We'll see, I guess. After a lot of organizing, folding, packing, and repacking, I think I'm finally packed. I'm at 43.5lbs of the 44lb weight limit. I guess I just won't buy anything in London? Not bloody likely.

... students off, leaders had a week of debrief and now we all (leaders and students) have a break for Christmas and then in January we go off to Guatemala! Wow! That was an intense, jam-packed first semester! I hear that second semester in Guatemala won't disapoint. I can't wait to update you all in Guatemala and hopefully it will be more often too. Love, Carolyn

... cold. We sat for 20 mins or so just dangling our feet in this pool. One of the things we've noticed about the lovely Winnipeg is that the water is ****! It tastes foisty, and even the water in the water feature had this foisty smell! Refreshed, we set off again and found the Toad. Michael was in, so we bought drinks and he sat with us a while, talking about how he'd come to own the place and what he'd done to improve it. It's a smashing place and has The ...

... was pretty crazy. Being a traveller that requires a wheelchair in the airport is actually pretty awesome. You get to cut every line and never have to worry about being late or finding your gate. You just tell them where you want to go and then they take you-- it's great! I flew from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur without trouble. The airport in Kuala Lumpur is one of the best in the world so that was pretty nice to see. I got on the plane before the other passengers (another perk ...
