Before the storm

CANADA | Wednesday, 17 January 2007 | Views [811] | Comments [3]

As I sit here and write this, a cloud of inevitability hangs over our household. In less then 24 hours we will all be on a plane headed for a completely different continent. In less then 24 hours our family will be free of the confines of Canadian life, venturing into the unknown. The luggage is packed, the fish shipped off, the orchids now rest in warm university greenhouses or lay forgotten in a frozen compost heap. This is it, for there is no turning back, no more delays, or arguements or loosing the 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner(Im looking at you Danielle). We are going, stepping bravely (or maybe nauseously depending if we forget to pack the gravol) into the unknown. Not a single one of us is fully prepared for the experiences we will... well experience. But know this mortals, we shall return... with lots and lots of pictures.

Safari Phil,

The adventure begins! I wish you and your traveling companions a safe trip. You are boldly going where none of our clan has gone before. I can't wait to read of your travels and see the pictures.

Godspeed to you all.

P.S. Don't forget the sunscreen.

Safari Phil- Hope you are all safetly on terra firma once again. Flying these days is always such a joy. I miss the peanuts. You will be happy to know winter is continuing on without you. Bring on the wind chill!

Safari Phil,

When we read that a monster winter storm hit Northern Europe the night of the 18th, we hoped that you were already well on your way, since cold and your safari uniform probably wouldn't go together. Happy hunting.

Warm in Clearwater.
