After Breakfast

Later in the day, we went to a mall and did a lot of shopping. That's pretty much all we've been doing here. Shopping, shopping, and more shopping.  Then we went out for dinner and now we're at home. I think I'll sleep even earlier than usual because I have a bit of a headache. Hopefully, I'll remember to blog tomorrow! 

Before Breakfast

I just realized that yesterday I completely forgot to blog. So to make up for it, I will blog twice today.  Yesterday we had breakfast at Denny's and then spent the rest of the morning and afternoon shopping. Things here are a lot cheaper when it comes to clothes and things like that.  Anyway, I came back tired from all that shopping. Then in the evening, we went walking in Hog's Back Park. It was fun and we took a lot of pictures of the trees and things like that as if we were tourists.  Now, I'm going to have breakfast. 

Yesterday and Today

We started off our day yesterday by being late. Well, we weren't late at the very beginning, but our driver for the airport shuttle bus took us through a route that was crowded so we were late to the airport. Fortunately, we were able to check in on time.  Then at the next airport in London, we were also late. The plane landed later than it was supposed to, and we had to run in the airport to get to our plane on time.  So the time at the airports was short and rushed. Then on the plane, I felt sick. I normally feel unwell during the landing, but yesterday I felt unwell for quite a long time on the plane. It wasn't the best trip in the world. But, the food was pretty good! Now, it's Thursday, and we're at Tim Hortons waiting for my dad to come so we can have lunch. Later on we'll be going to my mum's cousin's house for dinner, and I think it'll be fun.  So although yesterday, when we were on the ground, we were stressed and rushed, we now have two weeks of relaxation ahead of us, which I'm looking forward to! (And, on a good note, the dogs seem to be doing fine!)

Internet!

We're in Canada now and I'm extremely tired. So, now I'm going to bed. The good news is that we got a router so we'll have Internet! I'm so glad we got it working! I've been away from the Internet for almost 24 hours, and I really didn't enjoy it! Anyway, time for bed!

Packing

Our flight is tomorrow morning, so right now we're all doing whatever we need/want to do before we leave. I think my dad's packing our stuff, which shouldn't take long because we are light packers. (All of our stuff is on our parent's bed, but we leave it to our dad to put the items in the suitcase.) Well, we're light packers when it comes to clothes, but when it comes to electronics or books, we - and especially I - tend to try to take as much as we can. So I, personally, end up having a heavy hand-bag which is a nuisance in the airport.

Anyway, I'm kind of excited now, because I am a person who generally likes to travel.* But I am really upset about leaving the dogs, and I hope they don't do anything drastic when we're not around.

Hopefully, I'll have some time to be able to blog tomorrow. If not, sorry. :P

Saying Bye to Family

When I was a kid, coming to Egypt for holiday was the best thing in the world. All of us would be really excited and cheery as we were on the plane to Egypt and even before then, when we were preparing for the flight. So, as you can imagine, leaving Egypt was the opposite of that. My siblings, mum, and I would all be in tears as we would wave good-bye to our grandparents and other family members. We would be depressed on the plane, and wouldn't be looking forward to going home at all.  Now, as we prepare to leave Egypt to Canada, but this time the situation is the opposite (Canada is the place we're going for a holiday), oddly enough, we're all still sad. Today, was the last time I see my grandparents, cousins, and aunt before we leave, and I was very sad about saying good-bye. My grandma was crying, and I felt like doing the same, even though the trip was only for two weeks.  I don't know how we were able to live in Canada and be away from all of my family for so long, if when we're leaving for only two weeks we all feel sad.  But, on the bright side, I'll be seeing my paternal grandpa and some of my other relatives in Canada, so I'll still have some of my family around me. 

.......xP.......

So the results for the elections came out today, and the new president is Morsi!....

I was quite depressed when they announced it, but now I'm a bit more positive, because we never knows how things will turn out. Maybe he'll turn out to be a good president....or not.

Anyway, tomorrow will be the last time I see my extended family before we travel, and I'm sad about that, because I will really miss them. But I'm sure they'll all be depressed tomorrow, so it might not be that the funnest gathering, but at it's a chance to see them!

I really don't know how I'm going to blog anything on Wednesday, unless I blog in the morning. Or I find wi-fi in England. But, I'll find a way. I don't want to miss a day. ;)
