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

So glad you had a wonderful time here, and for sure staying up north is the real way to be in this country. I'm very jealous of this family for many reasons now, they had you at that nice place to stay, Wowowowowoowowowowowowowoowo, I want!

Thank you for being so kind once again to me and tell Caitlyn and Juliet that they are AWESOME. You had amazing helpers

algonquin provincial park area is very nice. It has a lot of fun hiking trails.. and I do believe they will all be free next year, and next year only so that's cool.
I don't think it's as far upnorth as you were but I haven't really traveled much before hehe... but it's up north and the skies are nice

Sorry if it wasn't much help... If I think of more places I'll let you know!

Wow Destiny!  It sounds like you had a wonderful time!  I hate being on or around water but I miss ATVs. My biological parents has two and I rode a lot. Anyways glad you are home safe and seemingly happy. Thanks for the beautiful pictures and letting us all know about your trip. As always much love and well wishes

First time I've ever been on an ATV (we have the tube for transport here in London ) but ti was so much fun! Just a great way to see the Canadian countryside

I grew up the Southern part of the USA on 3.5 acres of land. A lot of people rode around on the back roads out that way on ATVs and my biological father finally bought a couple. They were a lot of fun. It's not so scary once you get used to them
