A group hug at my farewell party on Feb 17, 2011
What an amazing night last night. 50 some odd of my friends on Gabriola Island came out last night to help send me off on my trip. We had this amazing party at the Woodfire Pizza and Pasta. Chris Hooten, the chef, kept our mouths watering with absolutely amazing food that just kept coming. I had so much fun, and since it was my party, I was allowed to be as self indulgent as possible. Sara’s Shameless Self Promotion was in full force. The most frustrating thing was not being able to talk to everyone for long enough. I am so happy you all made it out.
My great mates, Jude and Alanna, helped me laugh the night away with our follow-up shindig chez Chadwick. I have done at least 200 sit-ups worth of laughing since late last night to this morning. However I warn you against the dried pre-chewed projectile bagel serving. Best just to stick with dried rice cakes, cheese and a wee nip of Scotch. Thank you Jill O. by the way.
So this morning after more gales of laughter, both Alanna and Jude sent me off with eggs, bacon, barley and clamato juice breakfast. But Jude, someone should check your gate, it’s a little fercacked at the moment.
Well I am sitting at the airport awaiting my flight to Toronto. Visiting my family and friends for 4 days and then Fiji here I come.
Pictures of last night will be shortly forthcoming.
Hello, Sara.
I’m glad that you had a going-away party and it sounds like it was fun.
Wishing you a safe journey and happy trails.
I’m sure you’ll keep us up-to-date on your whereabouts.
Please, remember my postcard(s). Thank you.
See you in September…
What a party! Fun Fun
