Sunday

Another week gone. Time moves so quickly sometimes - it's not long since the start of April, and suddenly the end of the month is within sight.

Sitting in the Coffee Bean (again), looking at stuff on the notebook, generally passing the time. Not a bad way to start the day.

We're planning the trip around the world (in somewhat less than 80 days). Today's task was to find the cheapest way for 5 adults and 1 kid (4 yr-old) to get from Toronto to Niagra for the day. Turns out it's as you would expect - rent a car. VIA rail is more expensive (approx C$ 28 per adult) and the bus can be even more so.

The other interesting task is working out what clothes to pack for a two-month trip. Coming from KL (day-to-day temperature is 32 degrees centigrade) and visiting Europe (UK and Scandinavia), then Canada and finally Los Angeles. The cooler temperatures are going to present some challenges. And all to be packed in one bag each. Interestingly there are lots of websites that offer advice on packing for trips around europe. One site purports to show how to travel with one carry-on sized bag. Good if you can swing it, I guess.
