So, the past few days have been action packed- I finished work at Hydro last Friday, and had a customary 'all-you-can-eat' sushi buffet with the regular lunch crew, always good times. Later, that night I planned my bon voyage party. We went to the Lamp Lighter in Gastown, which actually turned out to be a wicked good time. I couldn't have asked for a better crew to enjoy that many tequilla shooters and dance the night away with. Saturday was a brutal tribute to the night before, I was a hurting unit on the bus ride to Whistler with Tanya... suffice to say there was bag usage on the bus. But, that cliche "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," proved very true in the moments after.... I made it alive and in one piece, and ended up having a great weekend. Thanks Nele~ "Saturday was actually a crazy night for me..."
I have been enjoying myself a lot hanging out with friends and family. I actually kind of wish my day could consist of 3 coffee trips to Starbucks and talking all day.... I covered a lot of ground these last few days!
Today was a brutal move day, I had to pack my mom's Toyota Matrix with all the stuff I had in my cramped little office/bedroom space. Picture this... two rubber maid totes, a suit case I can fit in, an 80L back pack, boxes, bags and everything in between (litterally) crammed into the car. We managed to get everything in there with my cunning packing and maneovering skills. The only victims were, a wicker basket and my IKEA desk tray. Unfortunately, we just didn't have anymore room. None. My 80L pack is crammed with clothes... just clothes... how I managed? The pack, un-pack, re-pack, un-pack and finally, re-pack. I am on the 4th re-pack, I should be good after this one. I better be. Hours later... I added an extra bag. Total bag count: 2 checked, 2 carry-on.
Tonight, I am with my mom and sister and finishing up the last minute packing and organizing. And, tomorrow, oh tomorrow is the big day. It's hard to believe that I have been planning this for a year. However, I am very excited to be going at last, and I finally get to embark on my European adventure.
Tomorrow will be interesting, my game plan to get a good seat is to freak out whoever sits by me with Sex and the City. Enough awkward sex scenes should send the person packing to a different seat leaving me more sprawling space. If that doesn't work, well then just muscle your way in, that's Air Transat for you.
My flight is at 5pm and I fly direct to Amsterdam, arriving at 1130 am Thursday.
I hope you all enjoy my blog, and I promise to keep you updated!
I will miss you all :)
