Trapped!

I sort of knew when my alarm clock rang at an ungodly hour this morning that it was not going to be all that smooth of a day for Craigers. Now i have been home in Vancouver for a few days and was quite enjoying becoming reacquainted with my friends, as well as making some new ones, so the thought of traveling all the way to the other side of my country to St. Johns Newfoundland was not all that appealing. Although i will say that secretly there was a part of me that was alright with it as i have only been to "the rock" once in my life and it was for less than 24 hours. I just wish i had some sort of teleporter that would allow me to get here much much faster!
Newfoundland is quite the mission to get to from Vancouver and all seemed to be going as well as it could be, including the 2 hour layover in Toronto. I was not looking forward to killing 2 hours at Pearson International airport as its not my favorite place in the world. I mean to be honest I go through phases with my overall outlook on Toronto, and for what its worth i would much rather steer as clear as possible from the big smoke that fancies itself the center of our universe. Much like some of its residents the overall attitude is that they are much better than the rest of Canada and basically their "shit" dont stink! Alright alright I have swayed off of course and must get back on track.
After taking off from Pearson international en route to St. Johns Newfoundland for the 2010 installment of the Juno awards and the party that will inevitably ensue , we were informed about two hours into the 2.5 hour flight that due to a snowstorm in St.Johns we would be diverting to Moncton New Brunswick for the night.
So here i sit now in my comfy hotel room downtown Moncton watching the Canucks and the Kings battle it out in a 2 2 tie in the first game of the first round of Stanley Cup Playoffs. It is a bit strange i must say to be watching live hockey at 1:30am in the morning. I wonder if the east coasters feel the same way when they visit my side of the world and the leafs are on TV at 4pm in the afternoon!
As it stands now we are hoping to be on a flight in the morning tomorrow getting us into Newfoundland just after lunch time. yesterday it was about 16 degrees celcius in Vancouver and people were out en mass enjoying the beautiful sun. Apparently tomorrow i am heading into a winter wonder land..
oh the life I lead....
