Leaving on a Jet Plane...Again

You know with all this flying that I'm doing, I should probably get myself on a frequent flyers plan.... (and the lightbulb goes off!)

My week at home is now coming to an end, but before I go there is someone that I need to see: Uncle Wah-Sing. This morning I got all my stuff packed up and in the car so that I could pick Mom up from work this afternoon and go straight to Uncle's house in Burnaby. We stopped by a Chinese butcher on Kingsway and picked up some roasted pork and barbecue duck (Mom's favorite!). We got to Uncle's house to find him in the kitchen cooking all the sides we'll need for our lunch. Sides included fried tofu, steaming hot rice, lotus soup, tomato cabbage and steamed veggies. OM NOMNOM!!! We finished the meal off with ginseng tea and chinese almond cookies. I was a very happy girl.

Mom then drove me to the airport to catch my 8:30PM flight to Amsterdam. I'm not sure if I was just really tired or if the T3s that I took a couple hours before had just kicked in but I slept almost the entire nine hours and before I knew it we were landing at Schiphol Airport. That's what I call pain-free traveling! From there I caught my flight to Paris and now I'm in Mark's apartment sorting out my bags for tomorrow's flight to Barcelona. Mark won't be home until late again tonight, but we have plans to have breakfast tomorrow morning before he leaves for work.

Stay tuned for updates from Spain!
