Part 3-Toronto 2005 aka -Hookin' Aleigha Up!
& GETTING BACK TO THE USA
it is close to 10 pm when we finally get into the city-very exciting energy just like the Big Apple(NYC) kind of energy--our hotel is right on the water--what water is that you ask? The blue kind of water when the sky is blue and the sun is out-silly!
Only a little glitch and we have trouble getting in to our room- actually I drop girls off to get a drink at lounge in hotel and I drive around to find ATM that is on same computer system to get cash we need for the first night--need to fix the glitch- really just need to be able to get into our room---the most adorable helpful young man is helping me--he sees I am tired, feeling awkward that this glitch is not fixed and does wonderful job of calming me down--meanwhile Aleigha seems to be fixating on this young man ever so slowly-- YES WE MADE SURE THEY EXCHANGED EMAIL ADDRESSES--
Over the course of our stay I found myself playing match maker much more than I should have. This made Aleigha "wiggy" yet I think she really loved it--oh to be 20 something and a cute college cheer leader.
I slept most of the next day away while the girls shopped--the keynote event went well-no A/C and no fans in the facility-and wouldn't you know the whole time up there the entire area was under an emergency heat wave alert? Go figure...We spent that night after event down town--dinner at Hard Rock Cafe where the nicest little cute guy waited on us. Hopefully Fran and Aleigha will process pictures so you can check out the scenery...
Should I mention going in to the adult toy store where my travel pals knowing my single new status over past few months encouraged me to get some toys---did we giggle--say YES DEE ---did we turn red on occasion--say YES YES DEE--why do you think I am writing this in red-- silly!? I am still "wiggy" over the quick stop to the toy shop--when the clerk asked us if we would like to go see what is on the upper level with this quirky-little-smiley-grin-gritting eyes popping LOOK on her face--we all realized IT WAS TIME TO GET OUTTA THERE---The Rock was calling us--I should say the Hard Rock was calling us --I mean I mean I really should say THE HARD ROCK CAFE was calling us...
phew-that was close eh?
Nice dinner-great tunes-even had dancers doing the
"y m c a" song on bar as we got there --yes, they were male-- no, they did not strip :-)
I opted to people watch at main frame of Toronto where kids were cooling off in the ongoing/offgoing fountians of water right out side the Cafe. Vendors were closing up shop and night life was popping out and about. Not long into my people watching, here hobbles up Aleigha with Fran--she was almost attacked and propositioned by some wonderman and the blisters on her toes spoke for themselves-- TIME TO GO
DRIVING DOWN QUEENS WAY ON A SATURDAY NIGHT IS QUITE A RIDE--GOTTA LOVE BIG CITIES AND THE BODIES THAT INHABIT THEM--ALEIGHA HAD MENTIONED A NUMBER OF TIMES SHE WANTED TO SEE SOME MOOSE--A MOOSE --ANY MOOSE --SOME MEESE? OOPS THAT IS ONLY USED WITH GEESE EH? I THOUGHT MAYBE WE MIGHT SEE SOME ON WAY HOME??
TRIP BACK WAS A LONGGGG DAY--ONCE AGAIN GETTING ACROSS THE BORDER BACK TO HOMELAND WE NEVER EVEN GOT ASKED FOR OUR DRIVER'S LICENSES--ALL THAT ANIEXTAL STRESS AND HOOPLA FOR NOTHING??
OUR DAY LENGTHENED WHEN WE ALL DECIDED TO SHOP TILL WE DROPPED AT THE CRACKER BARREL JUST INSIDE THE USA --WE STILL HAVE HOURS AND MILES TO GO AND TO SEE THE 3 OF US BUYING THIS AND THAT LIKE WE'LL NEVER SEE ANOTHER CRACKER BARREL AGAIN IN OUR LIVES WAS TOOO FUNNY.
I BET WE SPENT 2 HOURS BETWEEN DINING AND SHOPPING---GUESS THE THOUGHT OF GETTING BACK INTO THE SUV JUST WAS NOT GETTING IT FOR US??
WE MUST, WE MUST, WE MUST GET BACK IN OR BUST--WE WILL NEVER GET HOME IF WE DON'T
AND OUR JOBS THE NEXT DAY DEPEND ON US!
DRIVING ALONG IN OUR AUTOMOBILE WE DECIDE TO TAKE ON THE GAME OF C.D.A.A.S.R.---WHAT THAT STAND FOR COMES LATER---
ALEIGHA SHOUTS OUT --"THERE'S ONE"
FRAN SAYS, "HEY THERE'S ANOTHER"
THEN I LOOK OUT SIDE- "HEY THERE'S ANOTHER BIG ONE"
ISN'T THAT 3 NOW?", SAYS ALEIGHA?
"YEP THAT IS 3", I REPLY.
YES YOU GUESSED IT -- FOR THE FIRST 200 MILES OF OUR TRIP HOME WE COUNTED 21 DEAD ANNIMALS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
WE EVEN GOT SO BORED WE STARTED CATEGORIZING THEM BIG -LITTLE-MEDIUM DEAD ANIMALS! EVEN DEAD THINGS!! AND ALL OF SUDDEN WE LOOK UP AND OUT-----
HERE THEY ARE
The mighty mooses from Michigan lying in a field---ALEIGHA WAS ECSTATIC--WE WERE SO THRILLED FOR HER--EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THE MOOSE WERE IN MICHIGAN NOT CANADA--HEY--THERE WERE MOOSE AND SHE WANTED TO SEE MOOSE-
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM OUR LIVES EH?
33 DEAD ANIMALS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LATER--AND WE ARE HOME SAFE AND SOUND AND EVEN MORE PROFOUND FROM OUR TORONTO TRIP 2005!
no adult toys included...... betcha can't wait till our next road trip eh? Cheers- Dee
ps-- Go Lance # 7 -- he's in 2nd place overall- day 2?stage 2 of the Tour de France
