Canada!

[dragonlady7]

Going to Canada again! That's four times this month. I don't want to wait until passports are mandatory because mine is Somewhere In The House and I just don't want to make plans until I have it safely in my hot little hand. So this week is the last chance.
Fi and I are going to Ikea. We just want to. We may buy a chair or some shelves or something. But we're deffo going to buy picture frames and maybe a paper towel holder of some kind. Those are important.
I just want to go there. I think it will help me feel better about my life.

Have fun in your trip!

And I can totally relate about IKEa. It's addictive...

Awesome. IKEA should make everyone feel better about their lives. :)

Man we had a blast. And I'm horrifyingly addicted to IKEA.

TG we got passports for the fam last year. I can't imagine what the backlog is like now.

Oh, same here!
This is why I'm desperately clinging to the hope that the damn thing must be in my house somewhere. I do *not* want to have to find out what it's like to try and replace it. Lord almighty.
Z got his when the wait was "so bad", and they turned his around in no time at all, much to our delight.

Humorously enough, the US border guard handed us back our IDs and documents wrapped in a pamphlet about the upcoming change in requirements... and said pamphlet was entirely in French. The US borderguard. With whom we had been speaking entirely in English and had discussed that we were lifelong NY State residents. So I thought that sort of odd.

Maybe they ran out of English handouts??

How was the trip? And where is Ikea? I've heard tons about it but never seen one around here (lower SW Michigan).

There are a lot of IKEA locations, but since they're spread over most of the world, there aren't very many nearby. There are none within New York State, for example. The closest to me is in Burlington, Ontario, an hour and a half's drive not including time spent sitting on the bridge to cross the border. But there's another one near Toronto (which is only like, another hour away.) There are two near New York City (but in New Jersey). There's one in San Diego. There's one in, like, Utah. They're just randomly scattered, as far as I can tell.
But they're AWESOME.
