2.5 days left in Canada!!!

[Lindsey]

ahhhh I'm so excited and nervous!!! I'm leaving here in less than 2 hours. I did my banking and last minute shopping earlier, but I feel like I'm forgetting something... but I'm pretty sure I can't fit anything else in my suitcase. I still have to pack up Layla's stuff so maybe that's where the feeling is coming from. I haven't even had time to eat today!
My grandma decided she wants to leave here early, at 6:00. It's about a 4-hour drive to Edmonton, and our plane doesn't leave until 7:00 am, so we need to be there by 4:00 am. So anyways, we'd be there 6 hours before we HAD to be there, and 9 hours before the plane leaves!!!! I don't want to sit in an airport for that long, so we've convinced her that we'll take a half-hour detour halfway there and stop at my parents' house so they don't need to go meet us to pick up Layla. Hopefully when we're there, my parents can convince her that we should just rest for a few hours

I know that you're already on your way but have a great time!!!! It sounds like a wonderful get-away from all the cold weather! (Sigh) Wish that I could come too!!!!

[Mandy]

Gosh i envy her, sun, sea & margaritas.... could do with some of that

[Marilyn]

Lindsey, hope you are having a wonderful time!!!! Guess you flew over all of us on your way to old Mexico!! We are thinking about you and wishing you well.

Hey everyone, I'm back I still haven't gotten all my pictures on the computer, but I'll do that soon and let you all see! It was a really good trip, and a very eye-opening experience when I visited the poor families living in the dump... we gave clothing and toys to the little kids and it broke my heart. I have some pictures of them too, and the housing and conditions they live in. I wish I could do more for them from here.
I got a ton of souveniers and went to a fiesta and drank too much beer and pina coladas on the beach! In the middle of the week I got an email from my dad, saying I picked a great time to go on holidays because right after we left there was a giant blizzard and the average temperature all week was -50 degrees! But now the dream is over and I'm back here shivering in the snow and cold!

Welcome home! It sounds like you had a wonderful and exciting trip.

I can't wait to see the pictures and hear more stories. Your dreams are beginning to come true.

Sorry about the snow.

I can't wait to see the pictures! I bet you had a really good time!!! Any place warm where you can lay out on the beach sounds wonderful right now!

I've seen some pictures of some of the places that people live in in Mexico and they'll make you cry. My daughter went there on a missions trip years ago and she fell in love with the children there and she said that their living conditions were so, so sad.
