Last day in Ottawa

I have to admit I wasn't the driving force behind this trip - that would be Catheleen, the intrepid traveler. I was more the reluctant heal dragger at first. I am truly looking forward to the adventures we'll have on this trip, but on this last day in Ottawa I'm thinking about all the comforts we'll be leaving behind.

So while the kids are having a visit with relatives I took Catheleen out for lunch today to our favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Catheleen suggested somewhere else since we'll be in Vietnam soon enough. But I insisted - I need some of my last comforts of Ottawa. I mean, where am I going to get #327 vermicelli with pork, beef and spring rolls like I do every time we go to the New Mee Fung? You might argue Vietnam would be a good place to look, but what if the vermicelli bowls there are all filled with chicken feet and who knows what? What are you supposed to do with chicken feet anyway - suck them or chew?

Anyway, lunch is over, I have happy belly, and I should start packing. How do you pack for six months anyway?  I'm just going to fill up a suitcase with some clothes and a few odds and ends - they've got more stuff in Asia right?


#327 - num!
