Canada!

Needless to say, the trip was very tiring. The second flight from Charlotte to Seattle was like 6 hours long, and I hadn't slept well the night before. The time difference is 3 hours, so I'm a bit jetlagged. After seeing Claudia and her husband, aunt Silvia and aunt Santiago came all to pick us up, it was very exciting to see them all. We left the airport at around 10:00 PM, Western Time, and the car ride was about three hours long, so that means we didn't get to Canada (Surrey, in BC) until 1:30 AM. Since my grandma and aunt Cecilia couldn't leave (They had to get a special visa for Canada, and getting out and then back in would have been a hassle), we just met them here at the house, as well as Silvia (My cousin, the bride-to-be). We were trying our best to not wake them up and be as quiet as possible, but of course, as soon as we opened their bedroom door, they got up immediately. All of us women were up talking for about 2 hours, laughing, chattering, and just having bonding and reliving old memories, it was truly special.

It's my aunt's Cecilia's birthday, so I'm sure we will do something to celebrate.

OK, out to buy soymilk and some vegan edibles for my stay.

P.S. - The weather here is AMAZING, 68 F! The young couple who I sat next to in the plane (they were coming back from their honeymoon) have just convinced me to move to the Pacific Northwest!

Awesome weather = RUNNNNNNNNNNING!!!

On my way to Canada!

I know I haven't done a good job updating my blog since I created it. I'm gonna try to update now as often as possible, given the fact that school will be starting soon.

Canada, yes, I'm headed to Canada very soon. It's been a crazy week of packing, looking for dresses and shoes for the wedding and the such, but I am finally bound for Canada! I'm in Charlotte, NC, waiting for my 6:10 PM to Seattle. I have like an hour and half, so I'm sitting in a nice "Business Lounge" with a little desk and power outlet, like a businesswoman :)

I don't get to Seattle until 8:58 PM, which in Eastern Time would be 11:58 PM. Yay for jetlag!!! The car ride is about 2 hours, so that means we won't get to Vancouver until 12:00 AM or so, local time (Eastern time, it's like 2:00 AM :s).

I'm starving. I had a wrap I had prepared myself at around 11:15, so I'm having a Luna bar to hold me off until dinner at the plane.

I'm sooo excited to see my entire family, dress up for the wedding (I'm wearing a gorgeous long gown, it's purple and it has a super-low back :)

I should really go now, since I told myself I was gonna study some Italian on Rosetta Stone.

Arrivederci!
