Well, it is FINALLY Canada Week. With the arrival of the actual tickets on Saturday, everything is all set for the beginning of a 16 hour trip “around and about” until I actually get to the greater Ottawa area.

So you may be asking yourself, “16 hours? It’s not THAT far from Northeastern Pennsylvania to Canada. How is this going to take so long?” The answer is simple, the bus doesn’t go directly to the border, like you would think, oh no. It goes out and around to get to the final destination near Ottawa. Let me enlighten you as to what the schedule looks like:
| WILKES-BARRE TO OTTAWA |

| DEPARTURE CITY AND TIME |
TRAVEL TIME | ARRIVAL CITY AND TIME |
| WILKES-BARRE, PA (8:45pm) |
30 MINUTES | SCRANTON, PA (9:15pm) |

2 HOURS, 40 MINUTES | SYRACUSE, NY (12:10am) |

4 HOURS, 45 MINUTES | OTTAWA, ON (2:15pm)(TRIP ENDS) |
Yep, 16 hours of road trip. I can use the 2 1/2 hours in the “T-Dot” to get some grub in my stomach for breakfast, but otherwise, I am hoping and praying that there is no lake effect snow while I am traveling, lol.

What a week at work. I have never been so frustrated because of the business as I was this past Thursday – Saturday.
So busy, so late, and no time to be able to breathe made it one of the most hectic weeks I have ever worked. A little bad weather on Friday backlogged everything to Saturday, and holy shit, was Saturday crazy. I don’t think I will ever complain about “light hits” ever again after last night.
Other than that, I don’t have all that much to talk about until we get even closer to departure. I haven’t been able to play FFXI due to all the work, so I have nothing to report on that end, and Call of Duty has been very hit or miss playing whenever I am not passed out in exhaustion.
Well I need to actually start getting stuff sorted out for packing. Hope to see you online somewhere before I go and travel away.
