When will this province ever END?

Can someone please tell Ontario that it needs to be SMALLER?! It took us THIRTY-ONE hours to get out of that stinking province INCLUDING the 2 hour delay in Toronto!!! Alternative title to this post for Nathan is "We are waiting for a bus....constantly". The adventure began with drinks on our patio -- mostly we were drinking the liquor that we didn't want Dane to drink on us! :-) Then we called a cab around 8:30 -- being a Saturday night we thought it might take a bit longer. Whoops. So there we were at the beautiful (read: not so beautiful) Kitchener bus station waiting for our 9:50 departure. This wasn't too bad because it was warm out and we met a family (two boys, grandma and uncle) heading to Edmonton. We are now departing ways in Winnipeg. Sleeping on the bus is...well, what you would expect. Last night's driver was pretty good. Saturday night's driver....well, he was pretending he was a NASCAR driver...probably trying to make up for the 2 hour delay. We ended up slowly gaining back the lost time only to be lost again by late buses, late drivers, late riders etc. etc. but we actually arrived in Thunder Bay last night 2 mins. before we were supposed to! Bonus: Thunder Bay's terminal had BEER!!!! That made sleeping last night so much better!!! Yesterday afternoon, we met up with Greg's Granny, Auntie Helen and Uncle Don in Sault Ste. Marie! It was too bad that the bus was late and we could only really visit with them for about 10mins. Auntie Helen brought us a delicious bag of sandwiches, veggies and water and Granny made us buttertarts!!!! Thanks to them!!!! We are now in Winnipeg on a two-hour layover until we leave for Regina at 10am our time (11am Eastern)! We are having breakfast at a Holiday Inn on Rue Portage...so appropriately, I am portaging the Holiday Inn's internet!!!

All for now!!! Hope everyone is well!!!!

Love,
Katie & Greg
