Grrrrr Greyhound!

So it's really early in the morning, and we've been on the bus all night. What an adventure already. Our bus that was scheduled for 11:10 didn't arrive at the terminal until midnight (fantastic) meaning that our connection bus (at 1:00am) had to wait for us. Upon talking to a fellow passenger we learned that the bus driver stopped for coffee in the U.S. and then got held up at customs (lame!). So in the end we found our connecting bus, and loaded our trailer underneath it, only to be instructed to go on a different bus, which was going to the same place, so we wouldn't have to transfer buses! Bonus right? Well no, because that bus was packed to the rafters, and our trailer couldn't come with us. We weren't too thrilled leaving our trailer on a different bus so we opted for the transfer and stayed on the original bus. GOOD CHOICE! Neither of us have slept more then a few minutes so far, and we're both pretty tired - we're going to have to learn to take short naps multiple times a day, and forgo the sleeping at night luxury.

We'll keep you updated :)

We leave tonight!

Our bike is shipped and as of midnight last night the tracking number said it was in Mississauga.

Our gear list seems to keep getting longer and longer but, here is the final copy:



Here's what it looks like all laid out:


And, all packed up and ready to load on the Greyhound:

Shipped the Bike!

Boxed up our bike last night and dropped it off at Fed EX this morning. Hopefully it makes it safe and sound.
