Well, I forgot to mention, that 2 weeks ago, I went off to Ontario for my 1 week paid vacation. I went up and stayed with my good friend, Victor, who is currently attending Sheridan Institute of Applied Arts [?]. He has an apartment up there, in Oakville, two bedroom, 9th floor. The view from the apartment was really nice, and overall, it was a comfortable stay.
The night before I left, I got to throw together Ewan's PC, but I'll detail that in another post.
I headed out to the Moncton airport on the 22nd, and left on the plane to Ontario at 7:30. The flight was quite smooth, and the view from the plane was spectacular. I really do enjoy flying now, and would gladly do it again, when I have the chance.
I arrived at Pearson International at around 9 o'clock, and after about a 10 minute walk, and a 10 minute wait for my bag, I was outside and talking to Victor. We waited another 10 minutes for his father to come around with the vehicle. A half hour drive, and we arrived at the apartment complex.
Once inside, I got to meet Victor's lady friend, Kailey, who lives with him. She's a really nice person, and a pleasure to stay with for the week. I can applaud her for putting up with Victor and I the entire week.
Durring the week we had gone to Square One, a mall in Mississauga, twice. Let's just say that mall is massive. While there, we found a nice little hobby shop, which had an abundance of models, action figures, mangas, paints, and cards. After mulling over the entire selection of models, I left with two. A 1/100th high grade Buster Gundam from Gundam Seed, and a 1/100th high grade Saviour Gundam from Gundam Seed Destiny. Both models are favorites of mine, and when I feel a bit more energetic. I've already started on the Buster, so it shouldn't be too much longer for the build to be completed, and the painting to start.
We also went to 2 movies while there, Step Brothers and Tropic Thunder. Both were spectacular movies, but Tropic Thunder was what I would consider better, as it was on a screen 4 times the size of Amherst's theatre screens.
Also while in Ontario we went to Canada's Wonderland, which was a nice 2 hour trip full of transfers from train, to subway, to bus. Once we arrived though, we had a lot of fun. The ride lineups were long, but worth the wait. In the 5 hours we were there, we went on a total of 5 rides. We went on the 2 wooden roller coasters, 2 steel coasters, and another ride as well. The roller coasters were fun, but the wooden ones rattled me. All together, it was a fun time.
We all visited downtown Oakville, which has some really nice shops. We walked into one store, and assumed it was a flower shop, but it ended up being an asian corner store.
Anyway, I left for home on a Saturday morning, after not the night previous. The flight was scheduled for 6:25AM, and I arrived at 4:45. It was a pleasant trip through security, and a nice 10 minute walk to get to my terminal. The size of Pearson is sheerly massive, and I really enjoyed marvelling at how big it really was.
The flight back was as smooth as the flight there, and the view was still hypnotic, although I did read the copy of CPU I picked up durring most of the flight.
I arrived at the airport in Moncton at about 8:30 in the morning, and the family, sans mother, were waiting. We mulled around the mall for a bit, and I picked up a strawberry banana smoothie for myself, and a copy of Assassin's creed for Nick.
Afterwards, we made our way home, and I visited mother, then made my way home to my waiting PC.
Anyway, That's enough for this post, I'll write about Ewan's PC later.
Cheerio,
