Thank yous, updates, and packing for Guatemala

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

I know, I know, things have been quiet around here. At least, that’s the way it feels to me.

I’ve been running around with a very nice boy and haven’t had the time to really drop a line.

Firstly, I want to send a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE shout-out and thank you to my SITStahs, whose support and plethora of comments were such a joy! It was such a great surprise to read your comments and learn more about you: mommies, travellers, single gals- all of us constituting a group of fun, fearless females. I LOVE IT! I hope you’ll stick around and I hope to check out all of your blogs soon.

Secondly, thanks for all the well-wishes for me and the boyfriend! My schnitzel (who I call Liebling on this blog) and I have been touristing like nobody’s business. My bones ache from all the activity. Yesterday, thanks to icky weather and a tornado warning, we actually got a reprieve and spent the day in the mall, eating fatty food (me), buying clothing (him), and watching movies (both of us). The highlight of our mall day had to have been the 45 minutes I spent trying on bras in La Senza (Victoria Secret’s Canadian cousin). Liebling dutifully assessed whether or not the bras were a good fit via boob grab, and fetched me sizes and different models of bras as I needed them. That’s love, folks.

Anyway, I have been bringing him around Toronto and I hope to update with detailed posts at a later date. But here are a few pics of us from our day at Niagara Falls:

Thirdly, lastly, we leave for Guatemala tomorrow! I am stressing because I have not yet packed my bag, and that’s always a doozy. What to bring? What to leave behind? I’ll be in Guate for a month, but want to make sure my bag is light (I’m going to Chile for a week as well, but will come back to Canada for a day so I’ll pack my Chile bag then. I’m not too sure what the weather is like over there, but I do know that it’s rainy season. Which would have been okay except that my rain jacket (the expensive one that’s actually a name brand, has gore tex lining, and is only about a year old) is in a boat somewhere floating along the Atlantic ocean. The box that I shipped from Hong Kong in mid-JUNE still has not found its way to Canada. They said shipping would take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. It has been 9. Lame. I hope my 20-odd kilos of crap stuff isn’t lost or floating in the Great Barrier Reef or something. That would be sad.

Anyway, we are off to the CN tower today and to lunch and dinner with friends. I doubt I’ll have the chance to update before our ridiculous 6 am flight tomorrow, so the next time you’ll be hearing from me I’ll be in Guatemala! Wahoo!

Don’t forget to “like” me on Facebook or add me on Twitter (@OneikaTraveller) if you haven’t already! Love the support!
