Canada

As mentioned in previous posts I recently returned from just over 3 weeks in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada where my brother and sister live along with my two nieces and two nephews. I thought I'd post a few of my favorite pictures from the trip and when we went into the mountains in Jasper.

Can you say HEAT?!

I have truly experienced heat these past few weeks with the English summer peaking new heat heights and it being well over 30 degrees in Canada. Ive only made it worse for myself - in 2 weeks im jetting off the Runaway Bay Jamaica!
 My dads side of my family come from the parish down the road and a lot of our family are travelling over there for 2 weeks so i shall be happily joining them.

Pictures will be coming soon, promise!

Canada Update

So I previously posted about going to Canada for a few weeks and I was going to book through my cousin to get a cheaper deal. However, this plan fell through and I was forced to book through an online website and look for the cheapest flights.
 To cut a long story short, Im going on Tuesday the 18th (yay only 3 days!) and staying for a little over 3 weeks and returning the 12th july.

Around the world in one summer

I am extremely grateful for everything i have and not a day goes by when i don't appreciate it.
I didn't have the most extravagant upbringing however it was far from poverty.

I had extremely kind grandparents and my grandmother is still so so kind and generous and i wouldn't be where i am today without her generosity or help.

This summer im lucky enough to be spending 2 weeks in Jamaica just minutes away from my dads family home.
He died 3 years ago and i was never able to visit his native country with him nor see 'cottage' which is what the family call the house they help to build and maintain every year. Its far from a cottage and is more like a massive house!

This is only happening because my mother saved a large amount of money for me and i have decided to use this to fund this holiday. Its made extra special by a lot of family from my dads side also coming to Jamaica and staying near or with us during the same time.

However, before this i will be spending 3 weeks in Canada with my brother, sister, nieces and nephews. I havent met my neices who are 3 and nearly 1 which makes this a special trip also. This is being funded through saving my student loan, a generous donation from my Gran and a reduction on flights from my cousin.

This summer is going to be truely one to remember and i am so blessed and lucky to be doing all of this.
