Good Morning Charlottetown

Lord tundering jesus, we made er boys!  Late last night we pulled into this cute little drive up... motel and got ourselves a room.  No coin operated bed though. Darn!  We made a stop at Carole Ann's for a cup of tea and slice of home made raisin bread.  That was 11:30 - PEI time! Spent time with Carole Anne, Claudia, Uncle Leonard, Frank's Mom, brothers John and Bob,sister in law Cathy, niece Carlie, nephew Brett and Claudia's Granddaughter Vanessa. 

In case you don't know, we travelled with Frank's sister Patty, his brother in law, Gordie, niece Kayla and nephew Dallas (aka Salad).

Flight was relatively uneventful, got into Toronto at 7:00 p.m., walked off the plane, over two gates and walked onto another one!  How easy was that?  Left Vancouver on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning, pulled into Toronto to rain, arrived to Charlottetown in darkness.

I was right!  Still get off the plane and drag your sorry arse across the tarmac into the terminal.  Hang on though, the big difference is that they unload the suitcases and bring them into the terminal!  How lucky is that! Progress.  And cause for celebration, we didn't get locked out of the airport and we weren't the last ones to leave.  However - we got stuck with a PT Cruiser for a car.  How unlucky is that!

Petit Guy was bursting at the suitcase to come out. He was a tad upset with us when we wouldn't stay and play cards well into the night. As it was we didn't get to the motel until after 2:00 am. He's still not talking to us. But, it might help if we unzipped the suitcase and let him out though.  Oh well.

So today we are off to find Lady Slipper Cottages and get ourselves settled. Buy us some groceries at the Need and get er done and who knows, we might even get in a clam dig. Frank still upset that he didn't get in a raw oyster treat last night (eww, food issues here!)

Yeass, that's right, wese off fur the day, by the jesus b'y.

Love to all, 

Lee

5 more sleeps and the world has gone crazy

Ack! Time is flying by and I am running out of time to get all the things done that need to be done.  I mean, come on. fingers, toes, hair and clothes where does a girl find the time to get it together?  Then I've got to do this all for Frank too!  Don't have to worry about Petit Guy. He was packed the day we showed him the tickets.

Only 5 more sleeps before Frank and I head from the everyday world of work, stress, home, stress,  to the laid back, red sands of my hubby's native land.  Anne of Green Gables, here we come.  We are both excited for some serious playtime: eating seafood, playing frig your buddy, sneaking onto the tobacco fields, trying the wines at the one winery, spending time in Charlottetown  (I can't wait to eat at the Pilot House) and just having some downtime with family.  This could even be the time that we start planning what our next stage of life is going to look like. Could be trouble brewing!   Let's hope our family can help steer us in the direction of solid decision making. You never know, we could come back saying we'se moving.... hold on... da ya think? 

I think the next post will be that of our arrival into the one kiosk, still walk across the tarmac and drag your luggage with you airport of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
There they were, side by each, gone!

Countdown to PEI - 10 sleeps

So it's ten days from now that Frank, Petit Guy and I board a plane bound for Charlottetown.  We are starting to plan what we need to take so it's time for the ever popular list making on things to wear, wash, purchase, pack and what not.  

Petit Guy is very excited about meeting new people and seeing new places. He is gonna try some lobster, go to Stompin Tom's place on Skinner's Pond, attend the meet and greet at the O'Leary Legion  - we need to figure out which chips we're gonna take - and maybe go across Confederation Bridge.

In the meantime, I get to drag up the luggage, get sunscreen, soap, shampoo, maybe a new sundress or two, find Frankie some pants and get everything together. Most importantly, we need to make sure we've got our car figured out cause when the plane lands in Charlottetown on Saturday July 24th at 10:30 p.m. - that airport will be deserted by 10:35 and we'll be some frigged until the sun rises.

I loaded this picture of Petit Guy and his version of packing for the trip. Someone's ready to go!

11 days to go

Welcome back to my blogging escapades. This year's story will be about the McKenna Family reunion back in Prince Edward Island. Land of potatoes, red sand, tobacco, lobster and Anne of Green Gables and guess what - Petit Guy is back travelling with us.

In just 11 days, you shall hopefully share in our journey around this island and read with pleasure, joy and amazement the trouble Petit Guy shall get himself into.

We miss you travelling with us Lisa. But our adventures are far from over, you, me, Frank and Petit Guy have many more miles to cover

Today is July 13th and my name is Leanne. Come follow me.
