Welcome to Canada, eh?

When I got here in August, my first priority was to take advantage of the chance to see some fam and friends that are living here. I cracked the nod to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for Thanksgiving at my cuz, but expensive flights, Hurricane Katrina and the call of Vegas put an end to that. Second invite was to go north of the border to visit my cousin Desiree (Gutch) and her hubby, Glenn, in Canad-I-A - Toronto, Ontario.

So after weeks of planning and issues with getting my passport and visa back from the fucking Canadian consulate, I was good to go. My boet in London had similar issues, only double as he had to get both American and Canadian visas.

So we fly tomorrow morn at 11.30 on Air Canada, arrive in freezing Toronto at 4.30pm. I've been monitoring the temps, they're averaging a wild 1 Celsius max! But that guarantees a White Christmas. If I thought Denver was cold...

We've got tons on the itinerary - shopping on Boxing Day (priority one), a Raptors game, visits to Toronto's sights and sounds, dining out and hopefully a club or two. And the local strip club, bookings have been made already!

Should be a cool 10 days of destroying someone else's country, and a nice break from my slit-your-wrist-again work...
