My Last Day in Canada

It is my last day in Canada, I can hardly believe it.  I have been talking about going overseas for years now, and it was always something that was going to happen in the future.  Now the future is here, only 12 hours left in Canada, if no issues arise.

I did have one issue that did come up as I was packing.  I did such a good job of organizing all of my stuff it was fairly easy to pack my things.  But then I realized, with my mom's help, that I had put everything that was heavy in one bag and left the other bag nice and light.  I could barely lift one of the bags while the other was no heavier than my carry on bags.  After a few repackings I was able to make both of the bags around equal and hopefully under the weight limit for flying.

I am heading to bed as I have to get up quite early tomorrow, around 5 so that we can be at the airport in plenty of time.  I fly from London to Toronto, where I have to go through US customs.  Hopefully all goes well, I only have around an hour to change planes.  Then I am on another short flight to Harrisburg where there are only 8 other people on the flight with me.  Not the smallest plane I have been on, but quite small.

I should also mention that the weather in Lesotho is going to be quite cold when I get down there.  I got an email from the people with MCC who are in South Africa telling us that it was snowing everywhere.  They were quite right about that.  I looked on the internet for news and found this article.  There was snow in every state of South Africa, with more on the way.  It snows across the country of South Africa only once and a while.  While it looks like where I am going in Lesotho has had snow over the last few days.  It might be a wintery wonderland when I get there.
