Halifax in short

Thursday, July 22, 2006

Well, I said many times that I would try to tell write a blog about my trip to Halifax. To sum it all up nearly two months later, it was amazing. The trip down was long I guess, I flew from Thompson to Winnipeg and met up with the team the next day at the Air Port. From there we flew as a team of nearly one hundred to the Halifax Airport. There we hopped into two full size coaches and some smaller vehicles since we all didn’t fit and made our way to the Lord Nelson Hotel, it is a beautiful thing, right down town, only about 6 to 10 blocks to the harbor, depending on which route you took I guess. I was rooming with a guy from Swan River and he was pretty cool, His name was Tom, we became pretty good friends over the course of the week, but I haven’t heard much from him since the trip. Well, although the competition was only two days they kept us busy for the whole week, there was a lot to do there. I had a ton of sea food though, its was so lovely and expensive. But oh well, life will go on I figure, just a little money. I didn’t do so well in the competition because well, my migraine interfered, yes I still have it even now, nothing severe yet, but it’s coming back now that the acupuncture has stopped. So I don’t know what I placed but I had fun and that’s all that matters but it would have been nice to win of course, but oh well.

We did a harbor tour as a team at one point, that was pretty cool, had a whole boat to ourselves and a tour guide took like two hours I guess, it was nice. Reminded me of being home in Newfoundland, a place my family is headed for right now. *sigh* Doing Gods work can be so painful. Well I don’t have a whole lot more to say about the trip. It was great, but it took me away from home where I had a lot to do, so if I had my time back I probably would not have gone.
