Dartmouth - Moncton - St John

This morning was a big mess (as it always is the day I go anywhere big) and I was lucky to even get everything done. I searched the whole town for a dress to buy, because we figured that would be faster than my mom making the one we started. It was ridiculous trying to find something that didn't almost show my bum. I'm gonna sound like an old woman here but, why do they keep charging more and more for clothes, while they're making them with less and less material. It is so frustrating! But finally in the very last store we had time for I found a dress and a pair of shorts too. I asked my mom why it's always the very last store you go into that has what you want, and she so smartly replied, in a mocking tone:
"because once you find what you're looking for, you don't go into anymore stores."
I suppose that's true, but sometimes I wish I could find what I'm looking for in store #1.
So we finished shopping and getting money and all the last minute errands and got home with 15 minutes for me to pack. It was ridiculous. I was throwing things everywhere looking for stuff. It was crazy. But I got it done and got on the bus for 1:10PM, on my way to Trevor's place in St John, New Brunswick.

While on the bus I had two things I needed to do right away. Check my list to make sure I didn't forget anything, and get some sleep! I managed to make it out of the house forgetting only 2 things: my body lotion, and a towel, both of which are quite replacable, thank goodness. Then I rested and read all the way to Moncton.
In Moncton:
I have a lay over here in Moncton for an hour. I'm sitting here trying to tell Trevor that and I've somehow managed to turn off the connection for my phone. I can't make calls or send messages or use any internet things. So I finally call Telus (which I hate doing, I always feel stupid for these kinds of things), after playing with it for the whole hour, and turns out I had switched it to line 2, which is actually for my old Calgary number, and not activated on my handset. What a freaking mess. But finally, as we're getting back on the road, my phone is back in action and I am able to entertain myself with it all the way to St. John.
Stay tuned for more crazy adventurous travel stories (for now I sleep).
