Writing this out on my iPhone on the subway, on my way to meet my friends Jen and Tanya for dinner. But I’m writing it as a note instead of as blog posting on the WordPress app because there’s no cell phone reception in the subway here in Toronto. I have been spoiled by Skytrain […]
Toronto just got a new aquarium and my Aunt Lynn took us all there for my niece’s birthday ((Earlier in the day, my mom asked my 2.5 year old nephew what kind of fish he thought we would see at the aquarium. His answer: sushi.)). I have to say – it was pretty cool. We […]
Did an 11 km run today. In the snow. Uphill both ways. Ok, maybe that last part isn’t quite true, though given how hard it is to run in the snow, it may as well be. I’m at my sister’s place in Toronto for the holidays, but since I’m still in the running study, I […]
Written earlier today, on a plane where they don’t have the Internets. On a plane, heading to see the fam in Toronto for the Christmas holidays. I’m strangely antsy – we’ve only been flying for an hour so far, but I’ve alternated between deciding I should nap, then that I should read and then flipping […]
Some resolutions for when I return from my travels ((Note: This list was written while I was away, even though I’m posting it nearly a month after my return. Because apparently posting this posting was not one of my resolutions.)): Henceforth, teaching money will become travel money. Since teaching is a supplementary job for me […]
So after telling you that I was done with posting about my trip, I discovered two blog postings that I drafted on my iPad while I was away with the intention of posting when I got home and then totally forgot about until just now, when I discovered them. Clearly, you should not listen to […]
So it’s taken me way longer than I expected to write this series of blog postings about my trip to Europe ((Because apparently when you aren’t on vacation you have life to deal with and can’t spend all your time indulging pastimes like photo editing and blogging.)), so I’m going to wrap it up with […]
This is a *really* long posting about stuff I learned on my vacation. Like, really freaking long. You should probably take a vacation day or seven to read it. Given that my holiday was meant to be a break from work and school, it was somewhat surprising that I chose a holiday that included an […]
One thing that every person I’ve ever talked to that has ever been to Ireland raves about is the music. There is music everywhere you go, from live bands in every pub (often accompanied by Irish dancing and *always* accompanied by lots of the audience singing along) to the buskers you’ll see both in the […]
I should probably preface this posting by saying that I’ve never actually been on a cruise. But from my limited understanding of cruises, I believe that cruises involve a bunch of people all traveling on a big vehicle, going from place to place, where at the places they let you off said vehicle to go […]
