Ticket booked!

Well I took the plunge and booked my ticket for Lima. March 31 - May 15.

I guess I will be going whether I like it or not as it is non-refundable! LOL!

Time to get my shots in order...

Welllllll....

Here I am in Edmonton, Alberta.
Murder capitol of Canada.
Seriously this place scares the hell out of me.
I can't wait to leave and I have only been here for a week and a half.
Today I drove for the first time in a big city! It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.
I am such a small town girl! Not that I miss Yellowknife... frankly I dont know where I belong anymore, but I guess thats why I quit my job and began ramblin around looking for a place to call home. Cheesy, I know!

I am staying with my step mom's cousin Karen in Edmonton and her 83 year old mother Dorreen who has alzhiemers.
Dorreen doesn't like me being here. I've interrupted her alzheimers induced routine. 
She steals cutlery from resturants, licks all of the glasses clean from the dishwasher and puts them back in the cupboards, and reffers to the 3 dogs here as horses.
Every chair I sit on is "hers of hers" and she says I should go to hell. Hehe.
Typical COnversation:
Dorreen - "Where did you come from?"
Me - "From the basement"
Dorreen - "Well you should just go back there then"
Now, I know she can't help being that way, but I have been spending a lot of my time in my room until she goes to bed!

So my travel plans have changed. My travel partner has an unexpected trip to make which means I can go on to South America on my own - or decide on somewhere else to go. I really need a vacation.
Havent gone anywhere in 8 years so I am quite desparate!! Haha! I need sunshine and smiles.
If anyone knows of any good cheap places for a girl to travel alone please let me know as I am kinda at a loss for ideas.

On the plus side, I am going for laser eye surgery on the 1st of February! No more glasses or contacts to complicate my travels. I am pretty excited and scared at the same time... Happy happy happy!

Well thats all for now.
