So... can I come to Nelson with you?

While taking on "soon to become" routine bike ride to Stanley Park yesterday, I turned to Chelsea and asked, quite casually, and a bit jokingly, "So... can I come to Nelson with you?"

Then, a couple hours later, I bought a plane ticket from Nelson to Vancouver for next Saturday!

There are a few reasons that I decided to tag along on this trip: first and foremost, I want to be surrounded by nature once more, but also... I'm already tired of math and I'm attracted to the idea of paddling a canoe, sleeping in a tent, visiting a trailer park, getting out of the city, and just being spontaneous and taking advantage of the fact that I'm young and really don't have any responsibilities tying me down!

Today, we bought tickets from Vancouver to Nelson (11 hours by bus...), and talked about this whole thing until I became quite excited about the whole situation. Wednesday, 6:35pm, we'll be leaving the Coquitlam bus depot, going on an adventure; Saturday, 16:54pm, I'll be arriving in Vancouver airport, hopefully energized... and ready for a good night's sleep!
