You are sitting in your home reading my blog on a daily basis, waiting for another update and wondering to yourself..when is she going South again? It's been almost a month since our travelling friend has gone through security and packed up mini bottles of shampoo. Well, wait no longer. I am headed to one of my fav places on Sunday...Happy Valley Goose Bay. Yep. Labrador.

Labrador is the reason I am presently living in the North. I used to work for a rather large university in Newfoundland (hmmm, I wonder which one...LOL) and as I worked for the smaller West Coast campus, Labrador was part of my territory. I had wonderful travelling companions join me from the main campus on my journeys and I must say...Labrador was always a nice trip. I first fell in love with -40 temps when I worked there. I couldn't believe that I could walk around outside in -40 weather without a coat...it was love at first bite! In fact, for those in the know...North of Nain...came about because prior to my move to Nunavut...Nain was as far North as I had been.

I'm headed back on Sunday and can't wait. I haven't been there in about 6 years and am really looking forward to the trip. It's not all fun and games. I am headed there for work. I have a couple of presentations to make and a course to sell...there are however fun times built into the schedule and with any luck a visit to my fav store there...the friendship centre. I have purchased a few pairs of slippers from there over the years. They last for years...and years...and years. So they were not all for me. In fact, while living in Pang I called down and placed an order. The lady was wondering why I wanted to have them shipped to Pang...don't they make slippers there she asked...they do...but I like your best! It is a bit unfortunate that I don't need a new pair. Hmmm.

I may need to purchase a piece of jewelery though. I never felt that I had the $ before to make a nice purchase of the Labradorite stone when I worked for the wonderful university...that paid crap.

There is one small thing that has me a bit anxious about this trip. Now...don't read too much into this...I said a bit. A very small amount, so small that it comes and goes, but occasionally pops into my head. And let's face it HVGB is a small town and the chances of running into ex's is a distinct possibilty. I am not going to dwell on it...I have too much to do and too much fun planned to really be concerned about it...but I have thought about it.

The trip is short. Arrive Sunday afternoon, depart Wednesday afternoon. YEAH...Labrador!!!

Pics from my walks this week sometime over the weekend. Happy Friday!
