Preparation

Talked to my aunt today (Grace)(my mum's cousin actually and looks too young to be my aunt!) who lives in Toronto. We have discussed how we will be spending the 3 days in Toronto and probably we'll have 1 day for Niagara falls, one day at the cottage of one of my mum's other cousins where we can do some canoeing and one day in downtown Toronto. Wow!! These promise to be an amazing 3 days. And apart from all this I am looking forward to meeting the whole family!

Grace also said that there'll be the Exhibition going on at the time so we may go too

After these days in Toronto, we'll be flying to Calgary.
The following is the road we'll take to get from Calgary to Vancouver. We plan on doing this over 6 days. Won't mind if we take a day longer.

Ps. We found a kennel for our dog Jack (black cocker spaniel) today. Really sorry to be leaving him behind for so long. But at least the owners seem to love dogs very much and I trust they will care for him well in our abscense.

With less then a month to go, we are trying to find out what we would like to do and what we absolutely would not like to miss at every place we'll be visiting.

My husband and I enjoy doing different things and therefore we usually have to find out what the Absolute cannot miss things are for both.

Since I love planning and my husband loves to take things as they go along, we usually end up doing more of the things I like and less of what he likes.

We will be starting this trip with a visit to Toronto. We shall be staying with my mum's Aunt and there are some of my mother's cousins living there too. Looking forward to meeting them all! Most I have last seen when I was a tiny little girl.

We're hoping to visit the Niagara falls once we're there.
