And that is just where I am headed.
In 100 days.
I'm going here-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiteshell_Provincial_Park. It's a cozy little place in the wild Canadian Shield a little less than two hours outside Winnipeg. It's gorgeous there. I'll be visting and spending time with the local bears, beavers, fish, moose, elk and all kinds of birds. Oh yeah, and some of my cousins will be there too!
And I'm staying in one of these-- http://www.nutimik.mb.ca/index.php?p=deluxe. A small rustic cabin on a lake in the Canadian Shield. Fantastic!
I'm very happy about this! Who wouldn't be??!!
And I really need this too...I busted my ass in Germany last year with no other vacation time at all in 2007, chaperoned eighteen teenagers to Mexico in February and now it's my turn for a REAL vacation!
I'm planning on sleeping in when I feel like it, sitting in the sun when I feel like it, drinking beer when I feel like it, and reading all afternoon every afternoon. No city walking tours allowed, no museums allowed and everyone must speak English with no accent. I will not work or volunteer for anything on this trip! I promise!
Some of my extended family will be there but none of my family from California...just me. There is one bittersweet part, my uncle from Switzerland will be in Winnipeg the week before and we will miss seeing each other. I'm glad he's going and he's glad I'm going...but we are sad it's not at the same time.
Let the countdown begin!
