Leaving on a jet plane...

As I sit here in the airport waiting, waiting, waiting, I am getting more and more excited about this adventure. 

A lot of people have said "you're so brave" and "I could never do that", and I didn't see what the big deal was.  Its just an extended vacation right? Right?!

I know that the friends I have will be friends for life, and that I can always get another job, although I will be hard pressed to find another group of men and women that were so awesome to work with, what a team we are!

My work Crew!

I know this is going to be one of those life changing adventures and I am so excited to start it!  I'm even more excited to be going to Spain, thank goodness there are some sunny spots on this planet, because I have been experiencing a lot of fall like weather and I'm ready for the heat! Bring it on I say! Even though I might regret that statement in 4 days, oh well all part of the adventure.

So off i go, leaving on a jet plane, do know when I'll be back again. (no longer than 2 years says my VISA).  Not sure when I'll be able to post again, but please keep checking back!

Love you all~

Next stop, ENGLAND!

Final Relaxation

The time is drawing close (eeek 3 days!!) until I'm leaving on a jet plane to the UK.  Although I am very excited to get to the UK I am also getting more nervous as Sunday approaches.  Today eased my nerves a bit when I talked to my recruiter on the phone, she helped my calm down a bit, knowing that i have someone to meet me at the airport and help me get on my way to Bournemouth!

I have been enjoying the past few days/week here, I got my last Canadian pedicure for awhile, a must before travel, and generally have just been spending time with my family and enjoying the exhibition here.

I'll leave you with some photos as per usual. Who knows where my next post will be from!! Later peeps!

Beautiful fields overlooking the Bay of Fundy

Musical Rain

Last night we went to the RCMP's Musical Ride, what a great show of beautiful horses.  They are amazingly trained. 

The Riders and Their Horses

 Even though the show was great we all got soaked!  Its raining like its Vancouver here in Nova Scotia.  Dad got the worst of it, he was soaked to the bone.  We did have a good time tho thats for sure.

 There was even a 4H preshow which was interesting as well.  I'm hoping that the weather will change soon and we will get a bit more of summer, its very fall like here and I still want it to be summer.

In Formation

Where the dirt road ends and begins...

Well, its official, I have settled into this slower pace of life, and it sure is nice!

Sunset over the Bay of Fundy

Getting away from the city rat race has been a welcome change, even though I'll soon be heading to London (re-enter city rat race), I am relishing in the fact that I have this time to slow down and enjoy life and spend time with my family.

A dirt road kinda place

Here are some pics to show you this laid back place.

An old schoolhouse

Home

East Coast Pace

Well it sure has been nice being back 'home', its been even nicer to slow down and just enjoy what this gorgeous place has to offer.

The Bay of Fundy and the Ilse Haute

The scenery for one is amazing, and the people are even nicer.

Harbourville

We went to a exhibition last night and two family members qualified to go to the USA to a big horse pull there in October. So way to go Brandie and Bobby!

Tonight we enjoyed an amazing lobster supper, YUM!

Mom and Dad cookin up the lobsters

mmmm lobster and potato salad

Now to relax the night away.

Harvard!

Well after driving around a bit and getting a bit lost! We got there!

We needed to get educated you see, so to Harvard we went!

mmmm Pinkberry fro-yo

We wondered around a bit I enjoyed some awesome Pinkberry fro-yo and then we hit the road home!

Harvard square

Fenway!

Well what a great day!

We woke late, lets be honest it was out first sleep in day so we got up at 830!

We packed up and moved hotels, found that one a lot easier than finding the hotel last night.  I wrote down directions, so that helped, but what a confusing place to drive in.  The transit is great tho, we took that no problem! Dad really enjoyed the air conditioned subway cars! i did too!

We then sat around in the Prudential Center mall, I know right, to try and beat the heat until we went on a Bawston (insert accent) Duck tour.  What a great way to see the city and our driver/tour guide was phenomenal! I highly recommend this tour if you’re ever in Beantown!

The Boston Common, used to be a farm, now a large park in the middle of the city

Bunker Hill Monument

The Pub from the movie "The Town"

The Charlestown Bridge with Boston Gardens in the back home of the Boston Bruins

Fenway Park (to the left of the Citigo sign)

The New Hancock building with the Old John Hancock Building reflecting

We saw lots of great sights around town but unfortunately it was far too hot to explore the sights further.

We made a quick cool down stop, then off to the ball game!

Our tickets to the game!

We arrived at Fenway Park and it is amazing to see it!  We found our seats and enjoyed the game.  We had to have the classic ballpark hot dog! YUM!

Dad at Fenway!

The view from our seats!

Dad and I at Fenway!

Dad in his glory!

Well off to look around Harvard tomorrow morning then on the road again, hopefully making it back to Canada tomorrow!
