Day 43 - Getting Home (Part 3/3)

Hello friends! After 19537 km, 43 days, 10 provinces, 47 schools, 40 cities, 29 houses, and a lifetime of memories, my road trip is now officially over as we made it back to Southern Ontario! It was such an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I am grateful for all of it.

Today Vanessa and I had the longest continuous drive of my trip when we drove from Thunder Bay to Hamilton in ~16.5 hours. At this point in the trip, I had gotten so used to driving long distances, so the time just flew by. On our drive, we stopped in Wawa to visit Canada's largest goose, which was quite triggering but pretty cool to see. I also learned that aside from Mississauga in the GTA, there is Mississauga First Nation, which is located between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury along the Trans Canada Highway. After the long drive, we finally made it to Hamilton and met up with some friends at a pub called "The Snooty Fax" for dinner.

It's been such a wild trip, with so many amazing highlights, but it feels good to be home again. Now I have convocation this Saturday to look forward to, and I am very excited (and absolutely terrified) to begin a new chapter in my life!

Introduction

Hey everyone! This blog will be covering my road trip across Canada where I will be visiting (almost) every Engineering school in the country. I have been very involved in the Engineering culture since I started university, and now that I have graduated, I've decided to have one last big adventure and explore the Engineering culture all throughout the nation. I will hopefully be posting once a day to keep everyone up-to-date on everything that I've done throughout my trip!

Day 8 - UPEI

Hello friends, today the realization hit me that I am going to be on an island in the Atlantic Ocean... I was in Southern Ontario less than a week ago and my life has been a roller coaster ride since then. We woke up this morning after quite a peaceful night at Celine's grandparent's place, and we came downstairs to some freshly-made pancakes and a bag full of sandwiches and snacks for the road. I don't know what we did to deserve this, but I am very grateful for all of their support. We then hit the road and made our way to Prince Edward Island, and awe-inspiring doesn't even come close to describe how beautiful it is. We got onto the Confederation Bridge which connects New Brunswick and PEI, and all we could see were beautiful blue skies and breathtaking waters. At one point on the bridge, we could see both ends of the island, truly a sight to behold. We were told that we needed to go check out the shore in Victoria, PEI and so we did just that.
