#97 Leave The House aka On a bus

Headed home. Typing w/ my thumb. Totally squished. Have already used the line “hey, I can’t get any smaller”.Up early. Can’t sleep. iPod at home. No room to knit without poking my seat mate (and he got here first). It’s a 5 hour trip on the express bus and i’m working really hard not to think of all the cool destinations a 5 hour investment in plane travel could take me. At least I have my cell phone to keep me warm. I love traveling.

    Damian – totally criminal! thanks.
    Venus – options and ideas always welcome. The dummies the better. Laughing might freak people out enough to get me a little more space.

    Dear g-d, five hours! You could get to Detroit (or Windsor) in that amount of time…

    Not from Ottawa.  From Ottawa you could go to Montreal, have cocktails, dinner and a little romance, and then have time to get back to Ottawa.   Or go to Quebec City. Or head down to a cozy cottage in Vermont.  But no.  Home it was.
