Packing up and winding down.


Well the inevitable is approaching with the sun setting on our North American adventure and we've already begun to start packing in preparation for coming home to Scotland on Thursday. Five weeks seemed a long time to be in Canada, but it has absolutely flown by. There's so much I haven't yet blogged about and for now we need to concentrate on the little time we have left to spend here. We've still to head downtown and see the CN Tower and some city sights. I promise that I will blog on all the main details and that will include some reflections on my time with Summit Church too. I also hope to put up the video Laura took that prooves I had another go at Knee-boarding and was successful. I've never felt such a rush in being able to do something sporty.

Anyway, please don't loose patience with me, I will keep in touch when I can and will hopefully have a more steady internet connection either in or enroute to Romania in the coming days.  There's a case of double sadness tinged with excitement at are departure from Canada.  We have to say goodbye to Chris & Sarah, their families and all the new friends we've met here without knowning how long it will be before we see them again.  This is doubled up by the prospect that around 8 hours after that goodbye, I have to say goodbye to Laura, Kathryn & Joseph while I head to Edinburgh on my way to Romania.  This will be the longest that any of us will have been apart for such a long time.   However, that's where the excitement comes in as I look forward to meeting new friends on the Carpathian Aid team and experience their work in northern Romania over the next couple of weeks.
