I’ve spent this past weekend up north, with Mark – my godson – and his family. I got there on Friday night, the usual way: driving with Roxy’s father from NYC to Waterloo (it’s a 10 hour drive, if you’re curious). I wish I could say we did more than sleeping, playing with Mark and eating, but that was pretty much all we did the entire weekend. Not that I’m complaining, of course, I enjoyed seeing my favorite Canadian family and my godson I came back with Roxy, Mike and Mark today – by plane from Buffalo to JFK – and they continued their journey to Seattle.

Adorable little scoundrel All the pictures can be found at the regular place.

The trip to Canada was great, but very short – I had only a day and a half to spend with my friends and my godson, in between a bachelor party and a wedding. It ended as quick as it started, with me hitching a cab from the chapel to the airport.

I got to NYC in time and later that night my friends got here. So far I took them to see most of Manhattan – well, most of midtown and downtown – and to some of my favorite food places. So far they seem to like it. I’ll be elaborating on later posts, with pics.

Now to try to catch some sleep – I really need some rest after these days – and the fact that one of my friends snores like a bear doesn’t help at all. Might have to hit him with something. ZZZzzz…

The backpack is full, the gift bags are ready, the gadgets are charged. I even have some black tea bubble tea for later, when I’ll be driving part of the 10-hour trip. It’s guaranteed to keep me awake until late night with no problem.

I’ll be back on Saturday, when I’m flying from Toronto. Should get to NY around 8 PM, same time as my friends from Romania. And then the fun begins!
