About to leave

I did my last minute laundry yesterday and am trying to finish up the last minute packing today. I have to pack not only the stuff I need to the OR show, but I also need to pack some stuff to go backpacking while I am out there. It seems like I have so much to do and I just can't wrap my head around it. I do know that I will be coming back with a lot more stuff then I went out with. I was able to pack everything I needed in the large green duffel with my clothes in a carryon that fits inside the duffel. This way I can either expand the duffel or remove the carryon and have more space. I am really looking forward to this trip. I haven't seen my boyfriend in too long. While this will be a short trip, it will be nice to see him again. I really can't wait. I'm off to bed as I fly out extremely early in the morning.

Home for Christmas

I decided to fly home for Christmas.  The 10 hour drive just didn't seem like a good idea especially since I would be driving into winter with a car that isn't really winter ready.  I also managed to book relatively cheap tickets on Air Canada and that helped make the decision a little easier.  I wasn't sure about flying over the holiday break but I managed to leave on a Thursday which is a big help.  I arrive back on a Sunday and I hope that will not be a problem.  I also hope the weather will be good, as I will be trapped here otherwise.  My parents will be driving down to spend the night with me on their way to Florida.  We both leave the same day but I will fly back.  I will likely have to give them the keys just in case.

My boyfriend will be picking me up at the airport which will be nicer than lugging my bags back on the metro system.  He will also have extra keys so I can get into the apartment.  Yes, we got back together shortly after our disagreement.  It was a bad disagreement but we were each trying to stick to our principles without seeing the others side.  We talked for quite some time to work things out and are doing better now.
