I would rather be somewhere hot.

I’ve had a cold for 2 months minus 3 days.  It doesn’t seem to be getting any better either.  The last few days I’ve been wheezing a lot even when I am breathing normally.

I think I need a hot beach to cure my cold.  Too bad April is not coming fast enough.

Our trip was very very awesome!  Everything went relitavely smooth.  The wedding was delayed a day because it was raining pretty hard the morning of.  Other than that everything was ok.  Friends were made, food was eaten, drinks were drank and fun was had.  I’m not going to say a whole lot here.  I will let the pictures do the talking.

If were wondering if I was gone well the answer is yes.  That would also explain why I haven’t updated anything in a little while.  I went on a road trip with my Dad.  That’s right, just the two of us.  My dad has been wanting to do this ever since he got back from a trip out West with my brothers in 2003.  This time we went out East.

Some of the places we saw during our trip were Monteith, North Bay, Ottawa, Montreal, Valcourt, Quebec, Rivière-du-Loup, Matane, Rimouski, Gaspé, Percé, Moncton, Prince Edwards Island, Grand Falls, Edmundston, Mont Laurier, Val-d’Or & Rouyn Noranda.

I took lots of pictures but haven’t sorted through them or uploaded them yet.  I will do that in the following days and post some on here.

Some of the highlights of my trip were (not in any order):

• Visiting the Bombardier Museum and factory in Valcourt Quebec
• Visiting the Biodome in Montreal
• Visiting the Olympic Tower in Montreal
• Camping with my dad all over the East coast
• Seeing the Fleuve Saint-Laurent as we drove around Gaspesie
• Going on a boat tour with my dad in Vieux Quebec
• Visiting my cousin and her family in Moncton
• Getting a replacement wide angle lens at Future Shop after I broke mine in Mont Saint-Pierre
• Seeing real live penguins at the Biodome
• Taking pictures by a lighthouse
• Eating the best cod I’ve ever had
• Seeing Nova Scotia even though we were on the way to PEI
• Seeing the new Dodge Challenger 500
• Crossing the Confederation Bridge to PEI
• Seeing the longest covered bridge in the world located in Hartland, NB
• Checking out the falls in Grand Falls
• Visiting the Saint-Joseph’s Oratory with my dad
• Going to see Mont-Laurier with my dad
• Being on holidays for 2 weeks, only being disturbed a few times by work

Now it’s back to the madness we call work.  Summer hours are almost over.  This Friday is my last one off.  Next week is going to be long.

It’s finally here. We are leaving in less than 6 hours for Toronto. In the morning we will probably go to Wonderland and spend the day since Jenn really wants to check out that new roller coaster. Tomorrow night we will meet up with some friends nearby Toronto and go out for supper. We are staying right at the airport and don’t fly out till 3pm the next day. That means on Saturday we get to sleep in! I can’t wait. The beds at the Sheraton are so comfy. At 3pm we are off to Punta Cana for a week. I can’t wait since I’ve never been to an all inclusive before. I am bringing my Canon 40D so expect a ton of pictures.
