It's travel...it's travel time!

Seriously, April has ruined my life with this.

Anyways, We're getting down to the final days...exciting and scary! Scareciting? And I think I'm finally covered on the ridiculous amount of preparation:

All the immunization records, personal identification, visas, e-tickets, pills for the e-coli I'm bound to contract, blah, blah, paperwork-cakes.

However, I'm so over 2007 and I'm very happy to skip this year's Ottawa winter, especially since the view from my apartment windows looks like this:

At least in that window you get 2 inches or so of sky. Check this one:

Wherein you can see exactly nothing because the sidewalk-plows have thoughtfully deposited a massive pile of snow onto my front yard, which grows larger every time it snows. Which is every day. 'Mound' (as April has affectionately dubbed him) is already blocking half of the 1st floor's windows and will no doubt grow taller than the house itself whilst I am away. So good luck with that house-mates, cause I'm off!

This is an unimaginatively titled blog...

But it gets the point across, right? I said I'd never start a blog, but I figure it's easier than sending lots of e-mails with pics and junk. Anyways, this will be a forum for my photos and many tales of wonder that I accumulate whilst traveling the globe. Right now just to Kathmandu and London, actually, but hopefully that list will expand.

Let's give this photo thing a go shall we? Since it's a travel blog, let's show a travel photo:

That would be me at revolution square in Havana kiddos!

And who could forget my epic journey to Wakefield, QC:

Ok, it's not much of a travel pic, but I'm just proud of myself for getting my open water diver certification and doing it on a snowy day in late November.

So, this was my first (test) post. There shouldn't be another one until I actually leave in January, but maybe this blogging thing will grow on me...
