Leaving Ottawa from Trinity Church, the rehearsal location for the host choir, Cantiamo Girls Choir. Thanks to Jackie Hawley and the whole choir family.

Leaving Ottawa was really sad. It was awesome there. But the bus ride was,well, long. It started off pretty slow. A lot of people dozed and slept, myself included.
After we made our lunch stop and everyone was awake things started to get on the go. Closer to the back some of us started to sing some older choir songs, or ones we didn't do this year at least.
Soon after the choir sing-along there was a rowsing(r-ow-sing)singing of "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen) and then some spice girls was sang. For 8 hours it wasn't that bad.

0800 Hours we boarded the bus. We had been informed that this bus ride was to be eight hours long! That meant only one thing,sleep.
Most of us spent the ride, along with catching up on our zzz's, watching movies, reading books and listening to our iPods.
At around 12:30 we looked out our wondows to see mine and Erin's two favourite words: Tim Horton's! After stocking up on feeds we hit the road again and arrived in St. Catharine's with two hours to spare. Always in tune with our wants and needs, fearless leader Mrs.Chaytor lead us to the nearest mall. Many dollars later (time to put some cash into the bank account Mum!) we made our way back to the hotel to meet our new billet families.
The general consensus seems to be that wallets are shrinking, suitcases are bulging and everyone is having a great time!
Thompson and Heys.......Out!
