I'm off to Canuckistan!

In less than two weeks!

Yes, my beloved TTO and I are going to brave the close-to 48 hours of travel (layover times included) to go and visit my dear parental units in the Great White North.

Yes, after much pain and suffering (organising Visas, anyone? Getting a new passport? Choosing the tickets and trying to arrange enough layover so you don't have to SPRINT from one end of the airport to another?)

Since I last saw them in Feb of '08, it's been a while, and I'm looking forward to seeing them with much excitement.

This will also be TTO's first trip overseas, and HWMBO (He Who Must Be Obeyed AKA Daddikins) has a very impressive tour planned out. SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed AKA Mommikins) has called and said about 15 bajillion times that we shouldn't worry about packing too many clothes, as they're planning on clothing us in Canadalandia.

Things I'm looking forward to in Canada:

• Seeing my parents! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
• Ben and Jerry's ice cream! Sex for the mouth, I swear!
• Going white river rafting with HWMBO and TTO
• Bonding with the parents
• Meeting up with a couple of friends for a chin wag
• Ben and Jerry's ice cream
• The incredible pan cakes
• Trying to walk through West Edmonton Mall in ONE DAY
• Ben and Jerry's ice cream
• Finally getting my grubby paws on some Urban Decay Primer Potion!
• Travelling with my beloved
• Did I mention Ben and Jerry's??
  

Things I'm not looking forward to:

• The incredibly long drive we have on our first day
• The 13 hour layover in Europe on our way back
• The long flights - and trying to get TTO a decent seat for his long legs! (There's nearly 7 foot of him, he needs it!)
• Going home afterwards :(

There are literally 11 more sleeps until we take off!
