It was an emotional day having to say goodbye to my kids. I know that I will get to see them once in a while in the coming year but it is still hard that I won't have them as a class anymore. I'm going to get a new bunch of kids in September so it's something to look forward to.

I woke up early in the morning just to find out that outside of the house is already covered with snow It was an amazing experience to touch the smoothness and whiteness of fresh snow a white mantle in all over the place of Mississauga. While writing this journal in my other travel journal's site Im http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Mississauga/blog-241589.html We've done the Planes and the Automobiles and tomorrow we embark on the Train part. We leave Toronto for New York onboard Amtrak for 12ish hours. We are looking forward to this next leg of the journey but are also sad to leave behind Diane Tanya Claudia Jasmine and Claude who we didn't see but did eat his yummy food. We were spoiled rotten by Diane and her family. We've eaten enough http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Mississauga/blog-239549.html We left Calgary with a few tears and a lot of hugs. ... and more luggage than we need Thank you to Mum and Dad for taking us to the airport and to Mark for coming to see us off too. The flight was uneventful and we arrived in Toronto safely. Peter's cousin Diane met us at the airport and graciously opened her home up to us. Her hospitality is second to none thank you Diane We are due http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Mississauga/blog-238736.html Well everyone I'm back in Canada now. For a bit anyway I arrived in Montreal on the 18th of Dec. saw my brother and my dad's side of the family for 3 days and headed to Toronto this morning to see my mom's side. Boy is it tiring It's especially not fun when you have all early flights like 6 in the morning. Anyway I'm here now and I'm hoping to relax a little bit while I still can.

Christmas wasn't quite the same this year without the snow but I still really enjoyed seeing my family. I feel that I don't see them quite enough and it seems like times are changing so fast with everyone it's hard to keep up Anyway everyone looks great and is doing just fine. My little niece Laila is absolute http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Mississauga/blog-113922.html Hello Everyone I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday. I'm now back in Canada from Poland for the holidays and I'm really excited to see my family. I'm also looking forward to having a relaxing holiday as well. I'm a little nervous about my upcoming teaching job overseas but Ill worry more when the time comes. I will be meeting up with old friends while I a http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Mississauga/blog-112015.html Got a couple days left. It's about freaking time. Didn't intend to wait this long to leave but plans change quickly as I'm sure they will along my travels. That's why I've got a plane ticket with an open return date and one night's accomodation booked. Other than that just a loose plan and general direction in my head that I'm secretly hoping won't come to reality. Spontaneity's the key this tim http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Mississauga/blog-99987.html I had no intentions of doing a travel blog. I actually tried not to. But I sold out much like getting a cel phone last year. It's just more efficient than sending out mass emails 95 to people who don't care. And it'll be easier to answer the proverbial What did you do Where did you go How was it questions when I get home. Plus someone said I'll appreciate it later on. I just looked at my http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Mississauga/blog-99985.html Parting is such sweet sorrowWell this entry will be very short as it is now just past midnight and Joe and I have to get up at 5 to get going to the airport to fly out. I can't believe how quickly the past few days have flown by I'm proud of myself for not crying when saying good bye to so many people the past few weeks. I have to say the kids are the worst for me...back at the beginning of Au http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Mississauga/blog-87066.html
