Last minute dilemmas!

We have made a big boo boo. We can't fit all my stuff into my suitcase. Having difficultly trying to squeeze everything! What to do! Sigh!!!

Option one is just to pack as much as is we can into the bags we have.

Or option two is to leave the goodies behind.

Or option three get another suitcase and just be prepared to pay for overweight luggage.

I think we will be going with option three. Man oh man. It is a little bit stressful right now, as we have to pick and choose what are the essential items to bring back home. I am not planning to leave my new clothes behind. I am even contemplating with the idea of chucking out my old pair of shoes and replacing it with a new pair.

It's nearly 9pm and still packing. Not too sure what the end result will be. But hopefully we will be ok. Tomorrow is an early start. Leaving at 6am.

Later.

Niagara Falls....

Today was not exactly the best day to go to Niagara Falls. It is 3 hours drive from Scarborough and I slept most of the way there. When we arrived it felt really really cold. Nearly 5 degrees, with the drizzling rain and wind did not help either.

Despite the bad and gloomy weather, the view was still spectacular. The falls are so amazing to look at. Watching mother nature at its best. We were able to the tunnel where we could get up close to the fall. And see it spraying and the water coming down. It was so interesting seeing how strong the current was and the amount of water that falls. Each time that I see it, even if nothing has changed, I still enjoy seeing the falls.

There is not much to comment or write about tonight. Maybe photos to post, but for this post I will have to give the photos a miss till I get home. Because tonight I will be preparing to pack.

Only one more day in Canada and it is time to head home. Tomorrow is packing day, where I have to look at all the items I have bought some how squeeze them all in. I haven't gone overboard. I just have very little space for the items I need to pack.

It is slowly hitting me that I will have to say goodbye to my Grandparents and my dad's family. I think sometime in the future I will be planning a return trip to visit them. Preferably in the summer this time. It has been such an enjoyable trip, not because of the shopping. Just this time we have been able to interact a bit more, chat a bit more and get to know each other too. I mean yes we did come every four years and one would assume we would know each other. But at the time when we were younger, we didn't take notice of what we did and who we met. Being older now we see things differently and take more notice of our surroundings.

So this is where I end my blog for this trip. Not to say it is the end of my blog. I do have a tendency to not blog as much or at all when I am home. We will see....
