it's snowing :(

It is snowing here again:(. Ha! We have had hardly any snow this winter, but this afternoon it started to snow and got COLD again. We have had such a bizarre winter thus far weather wise. I know that up north there is a lot more snow and I heard that some of the USA is getting hit pretty hard with the white stuff right now as well. I don't mind the snow, but Monday I want the roads to be clear so that we can DRIVE into Toronto and not have to take the GO train. The train is fine going into the city, it's getting back OUT that is the not so fun part. There's way too many people trying to catch one train all going to the same destination, makes getting on the train hard. Plus it is a lot cheaper to drive, the fees for the GO transit have become ridiculous here lately. Either way, it will be a fun day! I love the first home game of the season, the ACC is a really fun venue. Plus, they announced today that for fan appreciation due to the lock out, there are a TON of free giveaways, not only at the home opener, but through out the season. February 23 (I believe) they are opening the ACC top fans to view the away game vs Ottawa and giving a ton of free stuff away then, including food. I would have been going back for games regardless, but it is nice that they are doing these things to show appreciation to the fans that stuck by the game. It is funny to me how many people said they were going to boycott...in Toronto the free practice skates were full of fans and tickets sold out just as fast as they normally would. Maybe it's just us Leafs fans, but it seems as though the fans are as strong as ever.
Other than hockey and cruise excitement building, I feel like right now there isn't a lot for me to blog about. Every day that goes by, I am getting more and more excited for my entire Florida trip, not just the cruise. That will definitely be the highlight of the trip, but there are a lot of other plans I am looking forward to. Speaking of the trip (I KNOW this will get annoying haha), I went on my reservation for the hotel today to make a change, and the price for the room that I have booked went up since I booked! I am SO glad that I just went ahead and booked when I did. The cheaper, the better. It was only a little price difference, but I am still glad I got the lower rate. I think that the hotel is going to sell out because it is the official cruise hotel. I'm sure the Thursday night will be complete chaos but also complete fun with the amount of people getting ready for the cruise. At first, I was a little bummed out that none of my friends are going with me, but as time goes by and I plan more and more, I am actually looking forward to NOT knowing anyone. I think that if I was with a good friend, we would spend most of our time together and not interact as much as I want to. Going alone, and meeting my roommates there is going to force me to get out and talk to everyone and meet all kinds of new friends. I'm actually more excited than I think I would be if I was going with a group of my friends. That's not to say I wouldn't have a great time with my friends, I just really look forward to the adventure of the unknown. The only part that I am still nervous about, and probably will be until I get there, is the flying alone. I'm not really worried as much as anxious about it. Pearson Airport I will be fine with, but it's Miami I am worried about. I'm still hoping that I find someone who is travelling from my area that I can meet up with, I am going to start asking around soon and see what happens. I know that my roommates all live fairly close to each other, so I believe they are planning on travelling together, or two of them at least. I really want  a non-stop flight though, so for me it isn't an option to go with them, although that would be super fun.
I am going to log off of here now, I have to get some stuff done before work. I am going to work on finding other things to blog about next time, I'm sure if I actually sit here and have a plan before I start writing I will come up with something a little more exciting. Otherwise this is going to turn into a blog purely about sports and my cruise, and I'm sure it won't be very entertaining.
