...hopefully it will take less time to get back then it did to get to Edmonton.
It's been a fabulous week back home, almost too full of running around and visiting with friends - I did not really sleep in once my whole holiday. I'm looking forward to my next full day off with no obligations so I can nap.
Highlights and one lowlight:
1. My flight from Philly was canceled, so they rerouted me through Cleveland and then Minneapolis. Then that first flight got delayed and I missed my connection to MPS so I go shunted back to Toronto from Cleveland and then across to Edmonton. My zigzag route across the continent ended up in 14 hours of travel time instead of 8 1/2. I was one sleepy Dena by the time that was over. But the day ended with Taste of Edmonton with the Family, so it was a happy ending
2. Discovering that Joe from The Real Canadian Superstore is indeed a great clothing line, and pretty inexpensive too
3. Birthday dinner with the fam and finally meeting the sister's very lovely boyfriend
4. Hanging out on campus with old friends and very old friends
5. Thanks to the power of Facebook, meeting up with high school friends I haven't seen since I graduated
6. Giving my dad a new obsession - digital camera shopping!
7. Hairspray - can't stop the beat!
8. Playing with babies all day on Wednesday - thank you to my friends for producing such adorable offspring
9. Catching up with the drama group and finding out what they REALLY think about the new Fringe ticketing system (and getting a list of book recommendations for when I get home)
10. Playing Guitar Hero (I suck) and hanging with the Ninja
11. Planning my New Zealand trip!
12. Quality time with the shvester, dad, and mom, individually
13. The Downtown Farmer's Market and the Whimsical Cupcake stand
14. Heritage Festival!!
Thank you Mom and Dad for my birthday trip home!!
