The adventures of the Mel

Calgary goodness

Well, I'm here and alive. Aren't you all relieved? I'm sitting using the FREE internet in my hotel and thinking about how bloody sore my back is.

Well I had an awesome trip over that ran according to plan. Except for the oxygen leak in the fuel tank which necessitated an emergency landing in Honolulu. So....several hours later we arrived in L.A., missing my connecting flights and so on and so forth. So, I spent the night in L.A. Fortunately for me, everytime I think of L.A. I think of Angel, so I had a great time fantasising about David Boreanaz Andrew. I had a GREAT night's sleep! Well actually, that's a lie. I slept like a dog. Stupid body clock.

So I get up, go to Calgary and find that it's not that cold. No thermals or antyhing, and it's okay. It's kind of like a cross between Melbourne and Christchurch, but everybody I've met is absolutely lovely and really eager to help. Just like Melbourne, eh?

I went for a walk to Prince's Island and found squirrels! Yeah, I'm lame, but they are so cool!! They remind me of a kitten fft ffting. They bound and leap and try to steal your food and look at you and they are quite cute. I also got to see a bald eagle soar overhead, which was pretty cool.

Anyway, no real news to report - might get to see Mr. Snuffy tomorrow, not too sure. Hope everyone is well.

Love love!!

When I was in the US I wanted to steal every chipmunk and squirrel around. Now I have then here.
One of the girls at work hates them. She says they used to break into her boarding school, eat her food, pee on her bed, I think they could just feel her hating vibes and were paying her back!!

Oh squirrels.

I want one. Could you mail one back do you think?

Good to hear that the adventures started even on the first flight ;)

Yay. I found your travel journal. I am so clever. Your photos look cold and there are none of you in them!! I want to see a Laani in a Calgary... (Please)
And you know, squirrels aren't as cute as bats - well that is my claim to make you miss us and I'm sticking to it!!!

Hi Mel
Missing you. Will be very quiet at school without you, no-one to harrass and stir. Back at work next Wednesday. Glad to hear you are enjoying yourself. Keep safe and keep in touch.

Love Judy and Lauren
