After the hustle of 3-4 months (but the dream started long back), finally the day has come. Bai and Mom will be leaving TODAY from Barasat to come to Edmonton. If not, this is gonna be the most happiest trip of my life after growing up. I dreamt about this the moment in the Spring of 2012, I saw people in their convocation dress.
It has been a really LONG preparation, starting from getting passport for both of them, then getting VISA for two countries (USA and Canada), booking flights, hotels, getting my VISA for both countries. Finally it's gonna pay off. Hopefully they will be safe and sound through out the trip. Also, I am going to drive for Jasper and Banff for the first time ;)
Two days earlier, an issue came up regarding my subletting my room. A guy from Netherlands told me that it's guaranteed that he will take the room. But when he came .. (Just now Bai and mom came online, let me talk to them and then I will write the rest. :D) (Just finished talk with Bai and Mom, they seem OK, a bit nervous which is common).
So about this Dutch guy -- just 3 days before my leaving, he told me that he's not gonna take the apartment. It was a lightning on my head -- how I am going to find a tenant in this time. After recovering, I put up ad again and asked Dmitry to show the room if somebody comes. Thankfully, one Italian guy has asked for it. Let's see how it goes.
Anyway, so I am geared up for the dream trip of my life. It's always special to bring your parents with parts of your savings, now I am joining the troop too. Next stop, Edmonton!
