Bon Voyage:
It’s been a hectic week. The house is about 75% empty, with all our stuff boxed and crated downstairs waiting for the final word before it gets cargoed off to the land of maple syrup. I packed my luggage on Friday, so there won’t be a mad dash at the last minute in rush to cram the bags full, well beyond their carring capacity, with those forgotten items that always seem to resurface just as it’s time to depart for the airport.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to doing everything that I had intended this week. To those of you I didn’t get round to seeing, we’ll have to catch up on that beer some other time. Chris, I’m afraid the splendour of Bucharest Decadence will have to wait for another time too.
This isn’t my farewell to Romania, as expect that I will still visit at some point within the next two years, but my centre of gravity has most definitely shifted westwards. To all those I leave behind, thank you for our gracious hospitality, and your unending support and friendship. Life here has certainly been an unforgettable ‘experience’!
As you can imagine, I expect to be quite busy once I get to Canada, with all kinds of ‘official’ shennanigans to take care of. As long as the Calgary’s Marriot Residence Inn has a connection though, I should be able to recount life as a new ‘Canadian’ until we get set up in a pad of our own. I look forward to posting from the other side!
