... and wouldn't have had to if I hadn't been told by the Greyhound employee to get on the wrong bus!<br><br>Well, first I just wanted to cry because to be honest, by this stage, I was over travelling and Greyhound Canada just was not as good as it's US sister. So I had a whinge to the driver of the bus I had just got off. He was actually nice, and organised with the guy at the ticket office for Greyhound to pay my ticket on the other carrier, since it was their fault ...

Hello! Ok! Leaving Saskatoon doesn't have the same ring as "Leaving Las Vegas" but we don't live there! So, here we wait in John G. Diefenbaker International Airport for our departure to Calgary, our first leg of flights that will end in Barcelona, Spain tomorrow morning! Hoooray! Can you feel the excitement! Cheers, Rick &amp; Elsie!

... clothes or school supplies I find I am turned off by all the people and all their wants - yes I realise we also appear to be in the want category, but to defend myself, the kids have grown this past year and their clothing and shoes from a year ago no longer fit. Simon has only one pair of shoes that currently fit (but with holes in them) which he bought in China. This means that he wore them through China, India and Africa and I want nothing more than for them to be ...

... Mendel we looked into going on a boat cruise but it was a little expensive and it didn't seem to be worth the money.  So we decided to take a bus through its whole route to see more of Saskatoon.  It didn't work as planned so we went to the local cafe.  We talked to some locals and then we came back to the Lodge and now we are about to leave to the train station.  I will get back to all my emails tomorrow as gmail is finally working for me.

... Sandy's Dad's) family is originally from. We leave on Sunday the 24th of August, and we are filled not only with the present panic of preparation but also with such excitement. Becca was squealing excitedly tonight about getting on a plane! We have read, researched, and wrenched all the possible information out of everyone and so are feeling well prepared. We are looking forward to getting on the plane so all this mayhem ...

... of severe pain whenever anyone moved her right ankle. They took her to x-ray and found that nothing was broken, neither her tail bone nor her ankle. I could tell when the morphine started to take effect because she started to talk. Her voice became normal and she started to tell us about things they had done at camp during the week. It was just as if nothing had happened, as if we hadn't just ridden to Saskatoon in an ambulance. Becca was declared ...

The first thing that people ask when I tell them about traveling to the South Pacific in September is "Who are you going with?" The answer is always a shocker. That answer is "noone" I'm traveling to New Zealand on September 17 and I'm traveling solo. Am I scared? No not really, I think it'll be good to be able to go where I want and not worry if the person I'm travelling with wants to go there too. I'm only in New ...

We finally made it home and back to our house. It feels good to be home. That's one thing about travelling - it always makes you appreciate where you come from and how good we have it living where we do. In Canada, we do take a lot of things for granted. I don't think we fully appreciate how fortunate we are. The first thing Martin did was go over to the neighbours to retrieve our dog, Sugar. She seemed happy to see us - and glad to be home, too! Like the rest of the ...

... students living at the residence with us? No? Must have slipped my mind. On the plus side, the other students all seem pretty cool. Most of them are either from Vancouver or Toronto so I can find a lot to talk about with them, which is nice. Until tomorrow that is, when we switch to full French and I won't be able to say much at all, haha. We'll see how it goes I guess...I hope my luggage arrives soon!
