Saint Mary's University Residence Halifax

After some fun and games, literally, with Gregor, Lynda, Heather and Herman, Tony and I crashed for about an hour's rest before hitting the road to the Halifax airport at 4am. Tired from nightmares of sinking cruise ships and terrorist attacks on my flights, I was in a bit of a zombie state when we left. We gave ourselves the usual 2 hours for a...

Due to work commitments we end the cruise early. It would have been nice to have ventured into the state of Maine and seen Boston but duty calls. We learn that the horrid problem with the city sewer systems won't be fixed for another 6 months. Pier 21 looks so familiar from our trip here 2 years ago. The ride to the airport is expensive and we m...

Tuesday, September 8 – To Halifax N.S.... Another free continental breakfast, this one featuring genuine simulated-meat sausages, and we lit out for the two hour run through the Annapolis Valley to Halifax. This journey occurred without event except that someone had moved an off-ramp coming into Halifax, again without notifying Garmi, and ...

Hey guys, it's me. As I told you in my last blog we departed from Halifax on Friday and the first few days have been very hectic but fun. On Friday I got on the ship about 10 a.m. after checking all my luggage in and went through several stations to make sure we are all up to date with everything. Then I headed straight for my room, which is 305...

We have just figured out that we did not know what we were doing on this blog and deleted all of the beginning entries from Idaho to Niagara Falls !!! We did not magically twitch our noses and show up here ! Anyway, Coralyn and I are going to go back and TRY and recapture our trip as it was for us a journal as well ~! Oh well - learning curve st...

OK - so took a Canadian Affair direct flight to Halifax - they only operate direct for about 6 months during early summer to late October. Very cheap - less than 300 sterling return and only about 5
hours.

So I was interrogated at the airport big time as I had an unopened M&S salad in my bag!! I was interviewed by lots of differe...

Hi everyone, In just three days I will be embarking on quite an adventure! The adventure of a lifetime really. Laura (a fellow Dalhousie oceanography graduate student) and I will be bound for the Galapagos Islands (~900 km west of continental Ecuador) early (very early) on Sunday morning to participate in a research cruise. Our journey will be l...

Home at last - well, not my home as in the one I own, but real home. The home I grew up in. And the cliche is true, there really is no place like it. I actually got up when I planned to today (5am) and was gone by 6:15. The ride through Maine was easy - very little traffic that time of the day, and the rain held off with only heavy fog to conten...

I slept in today. Ok, I slept in a lot (and slept it off) given Shylo and I had returned to her house at four in the morning. Shylo was still a little riled up over the taxi driver the night before who she believe had deliberately taken the long way in order to charge us more. You should have seen the talking to she gave him! I saw the police of...

Business class, that's where I'm sitting, by the window too! This will all be definately worth it if my bag's at Mirabel. Had 2 seats to myself for a short while but then some guy couldn't handle the smoking section (Wow, how long ago does THAT sound?!?) so he came, no prob. Lotsa room here, quieter too. Fairly secluded as well.
Had to fill ...
