Because Eventually I Have To Die, Maybe
Heading Back to Home Base
Well, it is time to head back home to Calgary. My flight leaves this afternoon, I’m flying with Air Canada instead of my favourite Westjet. The only reason for this is because Air Canada flies out of Kingston, saving me a train ride and cab fare into Toronto. I’m happy to be heading home today, I’ve been away a whole month and I have been homesick for the better part of two weeks. I don’t mind being away from my own bed and room, it’s the people. My boyfriend, my cat, my mom I miss them all TONS! I think I could survive quite happily in a cave provided I got to see them all regularly.
Anyways. I am happy to be heading home. In the next few days I’ll blog about my trip to NYC with Irma and my time with my grandparents in Kingston. Lots of things to be crossed off of my list.
In September I have another trip coming up with Adam that should last 10 days. We have no idea where we are going to go! Any suggestions in the mean time?

There’s a Giant Rock in Alberta

Me in a field I took my friend Mikaela out to breakfast in Okotoks and on the way back we found a giant rock. There were teenagers playing guitar on the top. Alberta… Apparently the rock is called Big Rock and is just one of many giant glacial erratics in Alberta.

This is just a quick hit! Number 581 on my list was to go camping again. I vaguely remember going as a child, camping as we travelled around. By “vaguely” I mean I have a strong memory of camping at Niagra Falls and it raining so heavily that I could feel a river moving under
New Tattoo

Much to the dismay of grandmothers everywhere, I decided to go ahead with my 5th and by far largest tattoo. I booked it months ago with Karrie Arthurs at local custom shop Blackbird Electric after my friend recommended her work. I have little else to say other than god damn:

After a sleepless 12 hour over night Greyhound stint, stuck sitting next to the bathroom, Manhattan can seem a little daunting the first time you see it from a distance. And from there, it only gets worse. You climb off the bus into the August heat, trying to find the right Subway entrance. You have

A trip from the beach near my grandparents house in Kingston, ON. Yeah, the beach is really disgusting enough to warrant the sign. A half kilometer East though, the water is fine and dandy!
Thanks But No Thanks: The Calgary Stampede

Last summer I packed up my school bag and an over-sized purse, met my friend Chris at the airport and took off for a month. I roamed through Montreal, Toronto, Guelph, Oakville, Kingston and Manhattan. I took the Greyhound, VIA rail and the Metro. I crashed on couches, slept in cramped, stinking hostels, and rested

Learning to Drive – Quick Hit

I went today somewhat on a whim and took my “Learner’s Exam” as we refer to it here in Alberta and I passed!!! I can start (legally) learning to drive and in a year I can take my driving exam and cross off #42 on my list.

About a month ago Adam and found ourselves standing in a Flight Centre office, waiting for the next available agent. After weeks of fruitless and confusing searching on the internet for a nice all-inclusive resort somewhere warm we had given up and were looking for help. Expedia, Travelocity and even the Flight Centre’s own website
