Wow, I slip out to the park with the kids for an hour and a bit, and this board goes and moves up two pages!!!
I was on the phone yesterday booking the Hotel for our trip to take DS off to College. SMALL WORLD!!! I WAS going to book online, but something tell me to call directly. The girl I spoke with at the desk at the hotel, made the booking for me, AND when she heard we were taking our son to College, asked where we are coming from. When I told her Ottawa, she told me SHE'S from Ottawa!! So then she asked me what route we were taking, and then we discussed the different routes.
The drive there is what has been keeping me stressed and full of anxiety, but NO MORE! The route we were planning, she told me, is a bit less in KM, but is acutally more in time Because there are more major cities to go through, and she pointed out that currrently there is major construction all along that very scenic Highway, and with it being a long weekend that we'll be travelling, she said thats the route all the transport trucks take and all the vacationers in there Winibago's with their kids and gramma and granpa hanging out the window (her words not mine
). She told the the other route, the one that Mapquest and the GPS actually pick for us, is longer in KM, but actually shorter in time. But that it does take us further up North before taking us down to Thunder Bay. And she informed me that if we take that recommended route, to keep in mind that once we hit the town of Hurst, that will be our last chance for hours to use a bathroom, fill up on gas, or eat! ALL good to know! So now we have a first hand recommendation from an experienced traveler on that route, I feel such a relief in the stress leavel!
I feel so happy this morning, I even got working on more of my FE gifts!
I don't wat to play too much as I am paranoid about losing ours!
