Wow, this is my first Xanga entry since I became a member in 2003. Haha, yes, I wasn't too fond of the idea honestly and I practically had no time to do this when I was in grad school. However, a recent convo got me interested. So, here we go...let me update with my most recent trip to Toronto, Canada.
Last week, I took a road trip with my parents and my Mom's best friend's family from Cali to Toronto. Overall, the trip was great! I think I did pretty good with my parents, given this is our first trip since 2001? Besides the bitching, the nagging, the complaining and the yelling back and forth, we survived the 4 days in Canada without killing ourselves. hehe...oh the art of dealing with your parents...I always wonder who would give me guidance on that.
Anyway, some of the highlights of the trip:
- Drove a total of 1200 miles in 4 days.
- Made it to Toronton within 7.5 hours with 4 stopping.
- Going at 95 mph downhill on Rt 80.
- Got pulled over on Rt 81 near Binghamton but the cop gave us a break because we were girls. hahaa...sorry dude, hot asian chicks got the privileges!
- Over $200 worth of gas used in 4 days.
- 5 meals consumed everyday: breakfast, lunch, shark fin soup or bubble tea or dim sum, dinner and fruits/desserts.
- Gained 5 lbs in 4 days.
- Cursed at a Asian FOB for taking my parking space...haha...like i really care..me as a typical NYC driver.
- Club hopped for 2 hours in downtown Toronto, got in 2 clubs for free, rejected an asian dude, danced to salsa for the first time.
pics to come later...still need to figure out how to use this.
