I made it back (mostly) in one piece from Toronto Canada!

So 4 years ago at the FanExpo Canada show I met this lovely girl Caitlyn, we became friends, and I invited her and her sister Juliet to help me out at the convention last year; this year they invited me to stay at their lakehouse before the show for a few days - how could I refuse an offer like that!?



I travel a lot, but an actual few days holiday - What a treat!

Although there wasn't toooo much time for chilling, as Cait and her family had many high-octane plans for me! Including 'tubing' which involves sitting on a giant rubber ring pulled by a speedboat! And ATV driving, which involves just as much clinging on for dear life...
    


The jet-lag got me up early each morning, so I went and sat on the docks to read my kindle (it's new and I am in love with it) ~~What a way to start the day, (reading about Cognitive Behavior Therapy implementation )



The trip was just what I needed, some time to spend chilling out, and some wonderful people to do it with.


I can't think of a better way to drink-in Canadan beauty than by the waterside!

I did have a go at waterskiing too: I didn't get up, but I did manage to partially tear my hamstring, and am still walking funny (I'm trying to pretend it's my London swagger) but I'll be okay, seeing a physiotherapist tomorrow

Who needs to see a Moose when you can see stars like this?  
   

All too soon it was time to go... So we built a campfire. And I lost my smore-ginity.

Without a car it's really hard to get out and explore Canada, so the last few years I've just roamed the concrete of Toronto, so I finally feel like I've seen some of the 'real' Canada. I'm going home with so many amazing memories, from such a kind and beautiful family, honored they opened their homes and hearts to me. So Caitlyn, Juliet, Jeffery, Randy and MaryAnn - Thank You!

I'll leave you with a sweet thought from MaryAnn, Caits mother said, about when I accepted their offer to stay in their cabin: "How did you know we weren't murderers" 
Sometimes you don't. You just gotta trust

And then it was time to step up to the reason I went over to Canada in the first place... - FanExpo!

The show went great ~~ my booth was busy with stories and hugs


After the show I booked into a nice hotel as a treat...
Lets just say I never thought I would post a photo of myself having a bath... until I found this bath! XD


Pretending my fizzy water is champagne

So wow, what a trip! I'm limping but very happy

Part 3 of my story is coming soon (I know I say that every time XD It's sooooon)

Peace, Love and Mooses,
Blue x

Congratulations on finding an opportunity to simply enjoy life. Treasure those memories, and add them to your arsenal when the negative thoughts / feelings come. *winks conspiratorially*

Hang in there... it's an uphill climb, but it's thoroughly worth the effort.

That sounds absolutely incredible! You're right, there's no better way to see this country than to go outside the city boundary! I really hope that next year I can come see you if you're in Toronto again! And of course, next time you're in Canada, if you want to check out the Ottawa Area, I'd be happy to show you around!

all of this looks like it was so absolutely beautiful to see, and from experience I know that the photos can't possibly do it justice. even the pictures are amazingly stunning, so I bet you had a blast. I'm so happy for you.

I look forward to part 3 of your story. and in the meantime, I just want to say that I hope you had a really good time and are feeling well. cheers!

No many people hand lakes and speedboats here in London  
I'd been on a free flowing tube down a river in Australia - but never such a high octane experience
