It's Done!

I've now bought my ticket and made my hotel reservation. 6 nights and 7 days in one of the only countries with a capitol north of Ottawa. Even better, I went digging for this black nylon pouch I always use to hold my travel documents and found the plug adapter I used when I went to Paris. The guy at the apple store confirmed that ipods can work off of 120v or 220v so I shall have tunes for the hotel room.

I'm also booked for two tours: The first is an afternoon of whale watching. Apparently, the boats also go close to a couple of islands where puffins nest which should be cool. I'm hoping it's better than the last time I went whale watching. That time was up by Tofino on Vancouver Island and all we wound up seeing was one glimpse of a bit of the back of a whale. At least we were in a zodiac so it was a fun ride. The second is a tour to see a huge waterfall, some geysers and other natural wonders.

Now if only I could shake this cold, everything would be perfect.

What? No bus tour of the stars' houses?

It sounds like it is going to be such an incredible trip. I am very excited for you.

Sorry, I didn't catch this post till after I wrote on your other one. Sounds like a great time.

P.S. The nightlife doesn't start till after midnight!

Thanks for the advice, Professor. The trips are pricey but I figure it'll likely be a while before I get back so it's worth splurging.
