Goodbye Ottawa!

Jeff and I spent a lovely yet teary day saying goodbye to our friends yesterday. Veronica was kind enough to host a drop-in gathering in her party room, where Flo and Willa joined in the hard work of setting up and cleaning up. That night, we met the party people at The Honest Lawyer and cried our last tears near 1:30am.

Today has been spent doing laundry, packing suitcases, trial-packing and washing the car... I am not looking forward to saying goodbye to Flo tomorrow. The saving grace is that we will see her in a week or so in Winnipeg!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the parties. We will sincerely miss you, but are looking forward to your visits in Kelowna!

The "Long Way Across" kicks off tomorrow (please visit www.longwaydown.com and www.longwayround.com to see where we got our inspiration - we love you, Ewan! And thanks to Nance & Michael who introduced us to the series!), with our first stop in Toronto. We can't wait to begin our cross-country adventure!
