On the road again

 

  I knew Winnipeg couldn't hold me down for long. The road called to me, the travel bug bit, the excitement of discovering new places, people and cultures drew me away from the comforts of home once more!

 

  In the past few months I've traveled over 10,000 kms from Beijing to Edinburgh, gone through 35 degree weather in beautiful southern China to the piercing cold of the Mongolian nights, and seen and experienced some of the most amazing things the world has to offer.

 

  Now my adventure continues, and so here I am... in exotic Saskatoon! Ooh, Amanda, you world traveler, you! Each trip topping the last! And now, finally, my journeys have brought me to the pearl of the prairies, the sweet seduction of Saskatchewan!

 

  Theran and I are just visiting with his family for a while, mostly we'll be hanging out at his mom's place, a very cute and relaxing cabin on a lake near Prince Albert. So, instead of worrying myself over finding a job and all those unpleasant thoughts, I'm just going to chill out in front of a cozy fire, have some holiday drinks and watch some tv. Maybe play in the snow for a bit.

 

  I think these are very acceptable holiday plans.

Well, you\'re getting closer to me here in Alberta. If you find yourself close, say HI and perhaps we can get together for coffee, you can tell me about the places you\'ve been and I could tell you about where I have always wanted to go but haven\'t. LOL Not sure who would have more to talk about, I haven\'t been to many places.

My holiday plans include driving straight through Saskatchewan. Why oh why didn\'t they make Alberta rigth next to Manitoba. I think Saskatchewan should separate, my drive would be considerably shortened. p.s. I\'m not a newfie I just think like one.

Ah.. beautiful Saskatchewan... Be sure and stop at the world\'s largest bone... I expect many tantalizing stories. Ha. I live in Northern Alberta.. what the hell do I have to make fun of you about?
