March Break
Well I finally have time and internet connection to update my blog. So here goes for the last week.
Saturday 14 March
Jess picked me up early and we took an 8 hour drive to Ottawa. It was long and very uneventful - it is quite a plain drive. There are heaps of lakes, all frozen over. And there were no moose!! dammit! So we arrived in Ottawa at about 4.30pm. Jess Dropped me off at the Novotel, where I had bookd in. It was across the road from the Rideau Centre. Looked very plain from the outside but really beautiful inside. Was really impressed with my room. So anyway, went for a walk to get some money and makeup from the Rideau centre. Got both then headed back for a nap as I was supposed to go out with Jess and her sister.
Jess turned up at about 8pm, and we started drinking, went out, met some people, had some fun. Jess' sister is a female Kuthrapali from Big Bang Theory - needs alcohol to talk to people! Was out late, had some fun, saw some of the night life in Ottawa. Late night.
Sunday 15 March
Hung over, slept in late, which was great in the hotel. Had to go out to eat. Walked around the Byward Market and Rideau Centre. Too tired to concentrate, walked around the old buildings, Saw the mint, the art museum and this huge big ass spider art sculpture. Caught up with Jess and her sister for dinner,went to a place called Momma Theresa's - very nice. Nice early night to catch some sleep.
Monday 16 March
Up early to catch the train to Montreal. It was a nice, although pretty boring 2 hour train ride to Montreal. Walked to the hotel - Hyatt Regency. Very nice!! Was checked in and moving by 12, so went for a walk to get some lunch. People had recommended Schwarz's deli. It had the best Corned Beef sandwiches ever!!
So after the half hour walk to Schwarz's I went downtown, ad then headed to the Bell Centre to see if I could get a ticket to the Ranger's Vs Montreal ice hockey game. Turns out I could get a ticket and a damn good one at that!
After all the walking around I was really tired, my feet were dying, so headed back to the hotel for an early night.
Tuesday 17 March
Decided I was too stuffed to actally make the most of my only full day in Montreal, so I got a half day tour of the city. It was the best decision, as I didn't have to walk anywhere and got a great overview of the city. We went all over the city and got to see so many things - architecture, Mont Royal, the old Olympic Stadium, Notre Dame cathedral, McGill University etc. Got some great shots, and some good info. Gotta say a church is a church.
I did however find the best church ever. I didn't actually go inside, but underneath is a shopping mall!! Love it! So shopped until Hockey time!
Went to the game, it was really good. Had a grest seat, and good views of everything. I am disappointed tho as there were no real fights, damn refs. Walked home, and was stoked to see Montreal has a nice, safe downtown.
Wednesday 18 March
Nice sleep, got up ready for the train back to Ottawa. Got into the hotel - Westin Ottawa- by 12 and wandered around the city to take some photos of the old Buildings. Parliament House, churches, old and new buildings all together. Jess came in and we went to dinner at the Works burger joint, I had Poutine for the first time - it's fries, cheese curds and gravy. Must say, pretty gross to be honest. Happy not to try that again! Jess drove me around to try and find some shoes that I had seen, with no luck - dammit! Ahh well. Home (hotel) in time to catch Criminal Minds
Thursday 19 March
More shopping, imagine that. No sight seeing. Saw the mvie "1 Week" with Joshua Jackson. Character finds out his dying so travels across Canada in 1 week. It was a great movie, for anyone interested.
Friday 20 March
Slept in, Looked around some more. Had to make sure I didn't miss anything. Jess and I went to The Blue Cactus for dinner, waited ages, but was worth it, food was great, drinks were great too!!
Saturday 21 March
Drove to North Bay, after a slow start. Spent the night there, and had a really great rib dinner at the Moose restaurant. Nice Comforst In room.
Sunday 22 March
Got back home, after a long and unineresting drive. I did see 3 deer, which was my first real live wild animals!! Very cool. So it was a nice relaxing afternoon. I think I am worried that I thought it was wamr, coming home to -5 degrees!!

Thursday - Polar Bears
I took my Travel and Tourism class to Cochrane to see the Polar Bears. They are so beautiful. Can't wait til the summer when you can swim with them. Well not really there is a big wall of glass between you, but apparently you can get some great photos. The kids were great, the trip was ok, and my new hat is awesome!!

Sunday March 1
Slow day, trying to sort out the upcoming holidays. What to do, what to do!
Went out in South Porcupine last night to the Airport Hotel with Kim and Kelly. It was an eye opener for sure! Very Spec! Procrastinating now, don't want to mark. I am so stupid for giving the kids assessment!
