Well my trip to Europe has officially started ! I am currently writing this while I am at Toronto airport. Day got off to a good start, Got to the airport quiet early.

Welcome. Right now I'm sitting in my downtown apartment in Toronto waiting to go on a trip to the Scottish Highlands for 5 weeks. I can't wait. I've been trapped in Ontario for the past 3 years living in 3 different places while finishing up 2 degrees, working at 2 different thatres while attempting to break into the TV production industry. I've somewhat succeeded having just finished up 2 different shows, and now's my chance, while on a break, to get back to the UK. That's right, back to the UK. I sorta kinda used to live there for a year. Had the time of my life. It was supposed to be on a university exchange, but I sure didn't spend much time in class. I was in Leeds, the biggest student town in the UK ... read more

Hi I'm writing from the lobby of the Strathcona Hotel in downtown Toronto. I'm wearing a jumper and thinking of discarding it (I just have). 10 feet away - on the other side of the plate-glass window- it,s minus ?? and there is lots of grey and white but hardly fresh snow. Rewind!! - I arrived at the bus/train station in Vancouver on Sunday and elected to take the "Canadien" train across country rather than the bus (perhaps I'll get a refund?). It was a good choice :- 2,500 miles, 80 hours, great food, great scenery (subjective), great staff, extreme enui , and EXCELLENT COMPANY. Amongst my (without exception) splendid co- passengers (and train crew) were 5 Canadian travel writers. Notwithstanding that they were enjoying a "freebee" - they were all fun, gracious and interesting and ... read more

Howdy all, It's less than 24 hrs. 'til I fly and the chaos continues. So, let's recap: * cleaning is done as much as it wants to be (sorry Jules) * one medium suitcase packed (full) * one large suitcase open on the floor, awaiting goodies I had a whole list of things in my head that I told myself that I HAD to bring. But ask me now... can I remember? All I want to do is take a nap. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... But hey, it's not like I'm going to a third-world country or anything. What I forget to bring... I will replace ten-fold! (hence the almost empty LARGE suitcase) The author takes a short break to de-stress and reconvenes at 9:30 pm I AM DONE!!!! Pat on the back for me! All suitcases filled; the ... read more
