Merry Christmukkah!

Hi everyone,
I am a bad blog updater. I know, I know. But I am pretty darn good at emailing, so that makes up for it, right?! Anyway, guess where I am right now? Back in good old Kingston, Ontario, that's where!! Oh- it is good to be home. I love K-town so much. So many good memories. Anyway, I have been travelling constantly for the past 5 days. I left Bangalore Saturday evening and flew to Delhi. I left Delhi at 9:30pm Sat night and arrived in Zurich, Switzerland 8 hours later. Then, the kicker....I would now be delayed in Zurich for 14 hours.....not the original 3 hours to re-fuel the palne, but 14 frickin' hours!! So, after slightly panicking cause I just wanted to get home, I spent a few hours in downtown Zurich with some new fellow stranded-ees! When am I ever going to get to hang out in downtown Zurich again anyway?! So, then we finally left at 8pm the next day and I arrived at Pearson at10:30pm Sunday night (I was gaining time flying this way) John picked me up and I spent Sunday night and Monday with him, then trained it to Toronto to see Ginny (wow- her school is nice!- BSS is a downtown TO private all-girls school) Then, I trained it to K-town and saw Flemo for a few hours and I am currently preparing to go see Milligan and Shawn in their new house in the bustling metropolis of Napanee! Yay for visiting people, however, I also can't wait to get home and stay put!! I don't get home till the 24th (driving with Bub and Doug) but at least I get to see all my people!! Canada looks so good to me right now. Timmy's tastes just heavenly- so does everything else for that matter. We just have so much choice and variety in our lives here in North America. For example, the only cereals I can get in India are Corn Flakes and muesli, so I ate four bowls of Cheerios this morning in glee! Anyway, the last week of school was fun- I taught my kids all about the different holidays that take place around Christmas time- Chanukkah and Kwanzaa and all that. I will post some pics soon from the Christmas concert and from my brief visit to Zurich. It reminded me of Quebec City in a lot of ways. So- hope this update keeps you all satisfied till my next one in, like, a month and a half!! No- hopefully I'll get more posted than that!!
Happy Holidays all!
Love Jessie
