My week with my girlfriend is over, which makes me sad, because we had such a fantabulous time together. We stayed up late talking, we swam in the ocean (and saw dolphins swim by - omg that was exciting), we got sunburned by the pool (okay, she got sunburned - I wasn't the one using expired sunblock), we gorged on shellfish, we talked more, - it was all so great. So, I love her, I love North Carolina, I am full of love! Okay, I admit, I wasn't in love with the humidex of 44C (112F) when I was there, but I still sat outside in it (the cool water hot tub on her deck definitely helped...LOL).
And they had this mega huge Harley Davidson store in her town, and I admit I overindulged. Everyone at home in my family got H-D presents. And books! My girlfriend gave me 5, her husband gave me 5, I am in bliss. While there, I read a Doctor Who book - it was okay, but I didn't think it was fantastic. I didn't think they got David Tennant's Dr. Who voice right sometimes. Still, it was fun, and a light read - perfect for the beach. Speaking of the beach, some parents are idiots. The first day there, the waves were high and the undertow was very strong - I'm 5'10" and they knocked me right off my feet - yet some mother thought it was okay to let her kids, aged about 5 and 7, play in the ocean on their own. Even after she saw me knocked off my feet. I warned her about the undertow, and then had to explain to her what an undertow is and how dangerous it was for her kids to be in there. Idiot woman.
And boo to Air Canada for wanting to charge me $75 for a suitcase that was 5 pounds overweight (I took things out and put them in my carryon). Christ - 75 bucks! I've flown WestJet with overweight luggage, and they charged nothing! (I think it was all those books I bought home). Still, I am happy!
Best things about the trip:
1. My girlfriend.
2. The ocean (and the dolphins)
3. The Oceanic restaurant
