    Well, I really thought that I'd be a bit more faithful to blogging but life gets in the way sometimes I guess. I've been busy though! I left New Brunswick on Sunday, June 17.
Beautiful Magaguadavic Lake
My little Fiesta was packed to the gills:

     I drove to Kanata, Ontario and stayed there. From Kanata, I drove to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario where it poured and poured and poured. I also had a minor incident where I got locked out of my room in my ugly blue old man pjs and then had to walk down 3 flights and make the 5 minute trek to the front desk to get a new key, it was quite embarrassing!!!
     After Sault Ste. Marie, I drove to Thunder Bay, Ontario where it lived up to its name, the thunder and lightening was quite intense. I also stayed at a dive of a hotel, by far the worst on my trip out. From Thunder Bay, I drove to Virden, Manitoba, where I stayed at the nicest hotel, it was brand new.

From Virden, I drove to Calgary. I stopped in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to have lunch with Carolyn, a former co-worker from Stan Cassidy.

 When I first got to Calgary, I stayed at a hotel for a week and a bit while trying to find a place to live, I looked at a couple of dumps, I was going to get one of them, I told the guy that I really liked the place and that I wanted it but that I wanted to make the drive to my work first so I knew how far away I was, in the 15 minutes that I was gone he had not only rented it out but I was now number 2 on the waiting list. So I continued my search and found a better place. I have a cute little bachelor apartment with a huge balcony, it's quite nice...now I just need to finish furnishing it :)
