Programmed the GPS for ‘no highways’, which made the drive from NOTL to Milton very different from my usual trip along the QEW. Went through a bunch of lovely downtowns, hugged the shoreline, and right around lunchtime ended up at the Burlington Canal Lift Bridge. There was a big ship coming through, so the bridge was up, we were stopped in traffic on Eastport Drive, I was hungry and needed the washroom, and just like in a screwball comedy, I was able to put the truck in Park, get out of the driver’s seat, assemble a good lunch in the kitchenette, and sit back down to have a nice meal while watching the ship sail through. I am so a traveller!
Got to IKEA, picked up a bunch more gadgets, appliances, and kitchenware, and headed home.
A successful maiden voyage, albeit one fraught with challenges (my toe still hurts).
