Yes, of course not.
On a completely coincidental, and unrelated note... I'm back in America again. And, I discovered a post I wrote about the Canerica of the past, basically to sum up the trip...
And, here it is... in it's entirety.
(Apologies for the double post)
I am home from my adventuring at last, and all I want to do is go back!
Canerica:
Two different countries
5 MC'ers
5 old friends who’ve just met
4 plane rides
1 bilingual plane
1 tiny plane with propellers
3 turbulance free, bright sunny landings.
1 terrifying, rain soaked, am I gonna die just as I was getting back home landing.
3 hours survived in New York
4 times looking for live people where only photographs have been
1 rampaging tickle monster
1 yo-yo teacher
3 yo yos (No, not Lisa, Prawnie and Nyssa)
3 yo yos (Yes, Lisa, Prawnie and Nyssa)
3 cats
2 dogs
1 bunny
1 familiar green face on a billboard in New York...
seconds after I thought... I'd like this place better if it were muppety.
Enough muppet merchandise to sink a battle ship
Conversations of life, love, and ushy gushy
3 ecstatic hellos
3 VERY hard goodbyes
1 firm promise of we'll meet again.
1 terrified toddler locked in the airplane bathroom

Lots of southern hospitality and dreamy food
One lesson in blondies
Two dips in the pool
Two panicked moments of getting lost
One evil, evil storage locker
One happy moment of discovering that there are electric plugs on trains
Two ushy gushy t-shirts
One ushy gushy mug
Many happy quiet moments of friendship
One long and loving look at the fast green forests of home

And as for this year... the saga continues!
Keep the music alive, Lisa and Nyssa! And stop singing those naughty songs!
