Ottawa Day One - Travel

Today kicked off my grand adventure, and let me tell you, the excitement had me up way earlier than I'd planned. I mean, who needs an alarm when you're buzzing with anticipation, right? So, midmorning it was, no crack of dawn for me, thank you very much. But guess what made the morning even sweeter? My husband and son both coming to the airport to send me off. Talk about a heartwarming start!

The journey itself was surprisingly smooth, a rarity in my experience of travel. For once, anxiety took a backseat, allowing me to surrender to the rhythm of the flight with ease. With music as my companion, I found solace in the simplicity of breathing and being present, a welcome respite from the usual turbulence of my mind.

Touching down in Ottawa felt like déjà vu, weather-wise. I swear, it was like Halifax followed me here! And then there's my sister, Lynda, swooping in to rescue me from airport chaos. Bless her heart. We grabbed a bite, hit up a grocery store for some essentials, and then, settling into my downtown hotel After a minor bureaucratic hiccup, which seems almost inevitable during travels.

After that, I took a leisurely stroll around downtown, just soaking in the sights and stumbling upon a cool comic bookshop. Talk about a happy accident!

 

But by evening, I was beat. So, I ordered in some top-notch takeout and cozied up in bed, dreaming about all the adventures waiting for me.

Now, as I drift off to sleep, I can't help but feel grateful for the day's little joys. One moment, you're in the midst of chaos, and the next, you're wrapped up in a cozy hotel bed, feeling like the luckiest person in the world. Bring on tomorrow—I'm ready for whatever it throws my way.

Stanley is VERY excited to be on adventure again!
