Toronto Turnaround

The following takes place on Days 132-136, April 8-12, 2011

There seems to be a common question that pops up when people find out that I was flying to Toronto from Sao Paulo. Even from people that already knew the reason. “Why are you going/coming back to Canada?” There’s really two main reasons.

First, it has to do with the Round-the-World Ticket I purchased from Star Alliance. To save on segments and on kilometers, both of which are limited on a Round-the-World ticket, my travel agent suggested that I do South America as a separate, round trip ticket.

Second, and the part I was most excited about, was seeing a few friends in town. As the date got closer and closer I became less sad to be finishing the first part of my trip and more excited to be seeing my friends. A familiar, friendly face to hang out with.

Day 6-8, Friendship Drinking Game

The following takes place between December 3 and December 5, 2010

My last three days in Canada. My last three days in North America. What better way to spend it but with a couple guys that I’ve been privledged to get to know that past year. It would mean a ton of time in vehicles traveling each day, but in the end, it was completely worth it. And it made this last weekend an absolute blast.

And, ladies and gents, take out your shot glasses! Every time the word friend is mentioned, take a shot(it makes sense, in context)!
