After questioning a couple of people, specifically the two I was living with, I opted for the more walkable Cambridge for yesterday's outing. I made my way to King's Cross Station, bought tickets, and bypassing platform 9 ¾, made my way to the train. I hopped on and started to read the excursions section in the London book I had borrowed. It said pretty much nothing, and the tiny map did not even have the train station marked on it- interesting. At the stati...

I didn't I realize how tired I was until I crawled into bed last night. The flight was fine, and with the assistance of a pill and an empty seat beside me, I actually must have slept for a good deal of it. It didn't feel like that was the situation, but at the end of a six-hour flight, I hadn't managed to make it through one movie, so logic would dictate.

It's a hell of a town! It wasn't just a clever slogan; I love New York! Hayley and I got up at the ungodly hour of 2:30am to make our way out to the Buffalo airport.

While of course I miss my pets and am looking forward to a fuzzy welcome home, I'm none too pleased about returning to winter. Ahhh, the plight of a Canadian girl who loves home b...

We just had one of those awful starts to a day; the kind of day where you don't wake up to your alarm and are startled out of sleep by the tuktuk driver pounding on the door, wondering why you aren't waiting outside for him. One thing's for sure, that's the fasted we've gotten up and out this trip. The driver dropped us a few kilometers away on the side of the road. It felt weird to be left with all our bags in the dark to wait and hope. We had no tickets, ...
