2.5 days left in Canada!!!

Hola Mexico!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited I can barely contain myself

Lately we've been having windchills of about -40 degrees, so when I started packing this weekend I was so happy I wanted to squeal! I dug out all my shorts, skirts, and pretty summer dresses. I went shopping for sunscreen, and I got a new bikini just after Christmas.
I'm taking Thursday off work to do some last minute shopping and go to the bank to get some American money (I should have done this a few months ago when our dollar was so high... oh well..) Then I'm finishing packing my stuff, and packing up Layla's stuff, and my brother, grandma, great-uncle, and I are heading out Thursday evening. We're stopping a couple hours from here and meeting my parents who will be taking care of Layla while I'm gone, and then we're continuing to Edmonton! We have to be at the airport at 3 am!!! Flight leaves at 6 am... and I'll be on my way to my first real vacation, my first palm tree, my first time IN an ocean (I've been ON one, but it was alaska and there were glaciers!)
Oh my gosh I'm so excited it's almost overwhelming! I just needed to pour out my excitement somewhere!

Lindsey, it's great to see you so excited.
I hope you have the trip of a lifetime!

Who's going with you?

Lindsey · 01-21-2008, 08:54 PM

I think there's about 14 people going... My great-aunt is actually getting married. Her husband passed away about 6 or 7 years ago, and she has been seeing this Mexican guy for 4 years now. They've decided to get married, and as far as she knows it's just her son and daughter going down, so she'll have a big surprise when we all get off the plane

Besides her son and daughter, there's her son's family (with two small boys), another second cousin of mine and her family (2 small boys and one small girl), then my grandma, great-uncle, and my brother and I.
My grandma and I will be sharing a room just because neither of us felt comfortable alone. I'm a little worried about that though! I'm sure my cousins and I, and for sure my brother and I, will go out a couple nights for some drinks. We're even touring a tequila factory with free tequila samples! But I lived with my grandma a couple years ago while I was on a work term for school. One night I was going out with friends and she asked if I would be drinking and driving and I was like "Oh no! I'd never do that!" but she took that to mean I don't drink alcohol at all. She's made countless comments since then about it, like "If I ever saw Lindsey pick up a beer I'd probably fall out of my chair and have a heart attack!" So I'm going to feel like either I can't have a drink at all, or I have to try to hide it. She also doesn't know I have my tongue peirced, which I have to take out for the airport metal detectors! I think after this trip, my grandma might have a lesser opinion of me..

Congratulations Lindsey on your trip. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. Take lots of pictures to share with us okay? Would really love to see the landscape, buildings and well, just everything.
