November 10, 2010

Had to wake up really early to get to the airport a bit before 6, which is always fun. Although the Airport wasnt too bad, they do customs and immigration on the Canadian side before you even get on the plane, so thats convenient when you land. And also wastes some time before you take ...

Got to sleep in, being in a hotel and all, which was good, but I slept really bad anyway. It took us a while to get ready and motivated before we headed to a Tim Horton’s (coffee place) for some coffee before meeting up with Alex and Janine’s mum at Red Lobster. We ordered some ...

Woke up before the sun was even up as I was driving to Edmonton today (about 4 hours away) to meet up with some friends for lunch. I left about 7.30 and it wasnt until after 9 that the sun was fully up. It wasnt a very exciting drive out there either, but oh well. ...
