It's 4 days till the kickoff of the 6 week trip to Ghana. I wish I was enjoying it more, but I'm still trying to finish up assignments that are due tomorrow and on Saturday, I still have to go to Kingston, sit through classes and then come back to Toronto, finish packing and fly out on Sunday. It's a bit overwhelming. My family is being awesome ...

Ok, folks; I've recieved a few emails as to what is there to do in Bacolod. Thanks to those who sent me those requests - I totally never thought about this. Restaurants Like I said before, Bacolod is a gastronomic paradise, and there are so many restaurants, which I credit to the local "monkey see, monkey do" mentality - meaning if one guy does ...

Hello all readers of this.... It's certainly been longer between blog entries than I hoped it would be, but that's probably got something to do with my general laziness, but in my defence it's hard to get things done when your travelling.... Sometimes I struggle to find more than 12 to 14 hours in a day when I've got bugger all planned...... Sin...

Just a quick entry before I finish packing, tidying up and heading to the airport. My friend Kathryn, in San Francisco, is eagerly awaiting my arrival, which will be around midnight San Fran time (by the time I get my luggage and clear customs), and going on 3 a.m. Toronto-time. Oy vay! I had to do some rather minor surgery on my bike last night...

I'm sitting in the Toronto International Airport writing this, right across from security. I like to sit here because I find it interesting to watch people as they pass through security. Personally, I find it a pretty degrading process. "Ma'am, please unbuckle your belt" and I comply, praying that my pants stay up around my hips. "Ma'am, could y...

We woke up early as we had reserved a shuttle bus to take us to the airport. As we were about to leave, we discovered the elevator in our hotel was stuck on another floor. Consequently, we were forced to lug our heavy luggage down five flights of stairs. Let me tell you, this was not an easy task. We stood outside our hotel for about a half an h...

Arrived in Toronto after hour and a half flight in a small, 56 seater plane, but smooth landing fortunately! As usual, trying to negotiate your way out of the airport and to your accommodation can be a problem, so from a woman's perspective, just ask and don't be a typical man and try and work it out by yourself. Big thank you to a kind lady cal...

We left Muncih early in the morning for a flight to London, at Heathrow we were able to shop in the massive duty free zone, before boarding our flight to Toronto. Arriving home in daylight hours, we welcomed the chance to relax after our vacation, but did miss the wonderful things we saw and did.

HA! I'm a freak with too much time on my hands these days. Perfect job if you like doing nothing - my boss is too busy to give me anything to do. HA! So I notice that Travelpod has this new fangled map thingy. And it totally doesn't reflect my trip. SOOOOOO, with all my spare time I'm going to add random entries so that you (or really, I) can se...
