Six days left you know that’s all
Til I’m speaking French in Montreal!

Boy do I need this holiday fix!!

Klam & Kodi - your poems make my day! :-d

Land sakes alive!
We're down to five!!

Yup, I'm a pretty good poet!!!!!!

Forgive me, folks, I've been away...
Now it's five to go until the Big Day!

5 more days until you can check out the ROM,
Art, world culture, research - a worthy conglom!

Enjoy-la!

Five more days not that long
Til I list’ning to Cris in Pefferlaw!

and even better, only two more days work
which is a godsend because he's such a jerk!

The days are now down to four,
You may be here for ever more!
Because Canada will make your heart soar.

Only 4 more days until you can go,
check out the Chinese Lantern Festival!

Enjoy-la!

4 more days so don't forget to have a ball
In my arrondissement, le Plateau Mont Roy---al

Four more days can’t you see
It’s getting to be that time for me!

Yippeeee,
You're down to three!

Three more days plain as that
Those veggie burgers gonna make me fat!

Yoo Hoo!!
Down to two!!

Ok, so I'm not a good poet!

Have a great time!...it won't be the veggie burgers that make you fat.. it will be the beer, butter tarts... Smarties....on and on!!!!

Two more days down that road
Till I’m singin’ with Willie in Peterborough

That's probably true Kodi! My last trip, I literally ate one veggie burger every day of the 18 day trip (except one day when I went to Chez Piggy in Kingston) and lost 5 lbs.

Well, I suppose in your honour, I'll have to try a Harvey's veggie burger. I'm not much into veggies, but I hear they are good.
Maybe you'll have to try a Lick's veggie burger too.

I bet you'll like it. It's not a "garden burger" where they mush up a bunch of vegetables into a patty shape. They're soy based and meant to be similar in taste and texture to a real hamburger patty. And if you doubt they really gave you a veggie burger, look at the shape of the patty. Their veggie burgers are shaped like a flower.

I haven't tried a Lick's. I'll check it out.

NOw I can say it, but you can't (yet).
Down to ONE!
Isn't that FUN!
To the plane you must RUN.

Well, actually... it's exactly 1 day, 23 hours and 53 minutes until my flight leaves, so I have only a day left!!!

One day left, I just gotta
Have myself a blast in good ole’ Ottawa

Unfortunately, I can't rhyme but looking forward to meeting you in two weeks time - say that sorta rhymes - at mini-GTG.

Re veggie burgers at Harvey's, a friend's friend, a vegetarian, ordered one and then took it back because she was convinced they'd given her meat in error - so try one whoever it is that hasn't.

I think you can rhyme! :)

I'm so looking forward to the mini-GTG and getting to meet you all in person.

I met a nice young woman in Kingston a couple years ago who told me about the shape of the patty - she was certain they were "duping" her also until they explained the difference.

One more day until Parliament Hill,
A river cruise also fits the bill.

Make it a fabulous trip toedtoes,
At the gtg anything goes!!

I'm heading elsewhere - same day as you,
I look forward to your trip review!

Enjoy-la!

=D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Thank you for the friendly send off
It's true that Canadians are very nice
I know I will enjoy my trip so much
And maybe I'll get to see some mice...
Oh wait... moose!

Your poetry is the best
Dear friend Klam Chowder
So tell us where you're off to next
And whose streets your feet will pound, er! ...
Oh wait... eh!

:-d :-d :-d

And away she goes!!!
Let the good times begin!

See you in 2 weeks.

Happy B'day wishes for my Dad,
Vancouver's where the bash will be had.
Then a long road trip to Buffalo,
A solo drive - I'll give it a go!

***
I'd never had a Harvey's veggie burger either and will definitely try one now - things we learn on these forums...LOL!

toedtoes, have a fab trip - your "countdown" was fun and original! Packing for our move caused my sporadic postings - sounds like your trip will be a blast!

Enjoy-la!

Thanks Klam! Even if sporadic, your posts have been well loved. Think of me when you take your first bite.

Give your Dad birthday wishes from the Fodorites and have a fun trip and a safe drive to Buffalo (that will be a gorgeous drive).
