Departure date delayed

The countdown to our departure day ended today but we are still here at Harbourfront! The weather looked so good at the beginning of the week for us to leave today, but as luck would have it mother nature changed her mind. We have spent the last few days getting ready and saying good-bye, we learned in our first year that sometimes we say good-bye a few times before we really leave. The weather looks calm in the harbour here but it is deceiving because out "there" on the lake the wind is blowing around 20 knots with 5-6 foot waves, which we know is no fun. So we wait. It's no fun to start the first day of a long trip wishing it was over - so we wait because we know from experience that Lake Ontario can be mean. So we are cooking a turkey and having an early Thanksgiving dinner with our kids and say goodbye again. It doesn't seem as hard leaving our kids this year because with facebook, skype, email, satellite phone we can still keep in touch with them. No back to baking cookies and getting more ready (your never really ready). Till Wednesday... departure day.
