I LOVE Canada!

So, I have made it back home and what a relief. I find it amazing how in love I am with Canada whenever I first see Canadian soil after a trip overseas. I never thought I would be so happy to see Toronto! It was an extremely long flight home from Vienna... well, it was only 9 hours but I couldn't get up because I was between smelly guy and long legged guy. So for 9 hours I sat in my seat. To make it worse, my row was the only one that didn't have tv's that worked. So I read a book, catalogued my photos, wrote in my journal. And then had 3 more hours to sit and stare at the seat in front of me. Toronto was beautiful after that!

But my overnight in Vienna was great. I made it to the hostel, did a quick check of the glass in my bag (all intact!) and then went for wiener schnitzel with my room-mate, Nicole. It was all I wanted to do in Vienna and I was so happy after. I also had a decent night's sleep... hostel dorms... oh, how I missed you!

So, I am home now and happy to be back. I loved my trip (sorry for the recent negative posts). Overall, I saw some beautiful countries and enjoyed two weeks away. But I will say I am happy to be home. It is only when you are away when you realize what you value about the place and the people that make it home. Now, it is back to work and dreaming about more places to come. But that will be in the future. I'll keep you posted!

Lots of love, Lisa
