There are only 4 sleeps until Buzz (formerly known as the one whom I adore) and I hit the highway, road-trippin' and we cannot wait. 4 more sleeps until we pack up Big Red, some lobsters, a couple of dogs and our I-pod and make the trek to Upper Canada. That's a term I've picked up since living here - apparently, we're still stuck in 1865 here on the island where, in days before Confederation, anything west of Charlottetown was referred to as Upper Canada.
I know, I know. Right now my life seems like I'm permanently on vacation what with being under-employed and all, but really, it's not. Because when you're on vacation you don't spend days looking for work. And it's never a vacation when your most favourite travel partner gets up everyday and goes to the office leaving you at home, alone, without him, by yourself.
So yes. V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!
We're heading to cottage country, to Loon Lake and the cottage of my life-long friends, the Goodspeeds, where we'll sit on the deck and listen to loons every night, after spending our day lounging on the dock, slipping into the lake for a refreshing swim, reading books, taking naps, mixing cocktails and cooking some great dinners. We're celebrating their 38th and our 1st wedding anniversary with a cruise on Lake Muskoka aboard the Segwun. The weather forecast is showing blue skies and yellow suns for our time in cottage country, so who says we aren't two of the luckiest people on the planet?
After our tour of cottage country we'll head back down to the GTA for a visit with my family and then on to Jingle City for a visit with Buzz's people. Fingers and toes are crossed for bright, sunny days in Kraft Dinner Town because Buzz's brother has a boat(!) and we plan on being on it, touring the Mighty St. Lawrence for at least a couple days.
So if you're in the vicinity of any of our vacation spots and want to get together, let us know! We'll be the two people totally chillaxed because we'll be the ones on VACATION!
