SO its all coming together and we're getting pretty excited about the upcoming trip -not so excited about packing everything up into that truck though!
We've each been saying our goodbyes to our favourite Halifax personalities, and had a fantastically good time with many of them on Saturday, with a big old bowl of Sangria in the Carlton St. kitchen (see photos).
As of today, our ETD for the drive is Friday, July 27th, sometime after noon...Dad has requested a detailed itinerary, and I suppose everyone else would like to know too, so here it is, so far:
Friday 27 - drive to Donkin
Sunday 29 - drive from Donkin to Moncton, to see our former roommate Timmy!
(who, p.s. may be moving to Korea too...)
Monday 30 & Tuesday 31- drive & camp in northern New Brunswick/ Quebec
Wednesday 1 - visit Quebec city, drive to Ottawa to see Emily!!
Thursday 2 - Ottawa still, perhaps, or up to Libby's cottage
Friday - Sunday - cottage
Sunday 5th/Monday 6th - drive to Georgian Bay to see Lizard!
Monday 6th/Tuesday 7th - drive to Sundridge to see Libby's family (if its ok with them)! It gets a little fuzzy from then on, including a visit to Lloydminster to see Dan's aunt, to Calgary and Banff and Vancouver until...
Friday, August 17th - arrive in Comox, B.C. to see Libby's Bamma & Grandad
AND
hopefully, fly to Seoul from Vancouver around the 20th or 21st to start our training with a childrens' school in Ilsan (about 45 minutes from Seoul).

Dan and Libby: You've been the bestest damn neighbours and friends a gal could ever ask for. I'm going to miss you both more than you can imagine. Even though selfishly I want to be back on Carlton, sitting on your stoop or table gabbing away with you, I'm so glad you are going on this trip.
The Cross-Canada drive is amazing and you'll be blown away by each gorgeous mile of it. Given that there are both a photographer AND a writer on this trip I will be expecting some extraordinary blogging!
Korea is going to be a especially fantastic adventure because you are able to share it with one another. We've spent hours and hours talking about the "rest of our lives"... and this is it guys... you are living it! I'm so proud of both of you!!!
(Just don't forget to write those of us back here on Earth every now and then!)
xoxox hugs and kisses!
sarah
ps. I'll e-mail you my Winnipeg friend's contact info!
