Leaving soon

Well, the departure date has been set: August 24th. Originally we were to fly to Kingston but Lady Younghusband decided she wanted to see the wonders of Saskatchewan and thus requested to take a land route. Everybody here in BC goes on and on about how there is absolutely nothing there, but she just had to see for herself. Being the gentleman that I am, I offered to accompany her on the 68 hour Greyhound ride to Kingston. This by far outdoes the 38 hour desert-crossing bus ride from hell I endured in China. At least this time we won’t get cholera.

Upon arrival we will be staying at a sweet bed & breakfast right on the waterfront in downtown Kingston. It’s a steal for $35 a night, but the catch is it is truly on the waterfront. A plus actually, as far as I’m concerned.

Many of you know that I originally planned on leaving BC on September 4th. So why are we doing this so early? Unfortunately, since I am not CF/DND affiliated I am not eligible for any on-campus housing. Also, no real estate agency in Kingston will rent us a place sight unseen, and I know no person there that could check out a place out for us. Thus, I must go early and try to track down a place by September 1st. Wish me luck!

(needless to say, my Internet access will be severely limited during that time, and until I get a connection in my new apartment, knock-on-wood)
