So I talked to my mom.
She is going to show me around St. John's. Good. No arm-twisting, she seems happy to do that. Yay! However I was advised to bring both winter and summer pyjamas. And not just fall stuff, still bring shorts & summery tops. Hmm! In my rapidly filling, brand-new, funky-coloured, carry-on-sized turning-out-to-be-not-quite-big-enough suitcase, I think I will have to rearrange. There is no DVD player available, at least they haven't been able to hook it up, so I may have to call my film & TV education into play when I get there, but not sure still if I should bring my King of the Hill and Office DVDs.
I made an intriguing discovery. Apparently, any area of Newfoundland that is NOT coastline, is pretty much uninhabited. Google maps, sattelite view, kind of bears that out. On teh Avalon Peninsula, one highway weaves close to the shore... that's it. Otherwise wilderness. *gets excited* My mom is funny though. I asked her if people go out into that wilderness at all, etc., they go for walks, but only as far as they can go without having to pee. LOL
Another bit of bizarre info, apparently the local mass is a half hour... LOLOL standard length of time of a Catholic mass as far as I know, is an hour. Well, all the more time on a Sunday to pick blueberries. 3 more sleeps
