Pre-Trip: Packing the Car

Last night, we packed the car. Luckily, Will and Rusty were around to help us! Everything fit, thanks to Mike's mad "tetris" skills, but the car was way too heavy so we had to take some stuff out. And we later discovered that we forgot my box of books for school, so we are going to have to have that shipped to us instead. But after all that, it went ok!

We bought a camera today since we didn't have one and wanted pictures of our trip. So expect updates with pics! It is a Nikon Coolpix. Let's hope that it works better than the one my mom has!

It has been hard saying goodbye to everyone... although it still doesn't feel real yet. We are having breakfast with my family tomorrow morning, and leaving here to be on our way by 9am (at the latest!). Since Marissa isn't going to be around, we aren't stopping in Albany anymore like we had originally planned. So we should hit Niagara Falls by 5 (it will take about 8 hours- that is, if we don't get lost or stop). We have a hotel booked in Ontario (my first time to Canada!), so there will be an update from there tomorrow night.

Hope you got there safely!

Definitely take lots of pictures. Of course, it will oooonly be for research of the camera, eh? ;)

WOW! This is sooo cool. I feel like I'm taking the trip with you (o.k. maybe not but the story and pics together really do take you there) I'm glad you're having fun so far (except for the bitch in Canada). You guys are too funny! I look forward to more...

Love you and be safe :-)

who are the gummy bears for? don't you know they rot your teeth??????

Love your friendly hygienist

ps take advantage of any dental schools in the area as they will be cheaper for any work that may need to be done but you can always visit me when you come home
