c9Arrive at Hamilton International Airport (a.k.a. small, tired airport with decades-old equipment and no jetways, etc) at 9:30. Get bags, car, and try to drive to Burlington to go to Ikea. It takes a couple tries to find the correct roads. Hamilton officially placa non grata.
At Sears Home we purchase a stacking, low-energy, inexpensive(!!) washer and dryer set. They get delivered on Saturday. It was fun to pay using 14 different gift cards from the wedding.
At Ikea we had lunch (passable) and furniture shopped. Found a couch we want, plus a few other things, but made zero purchases. Will go back with my parents' van to get it all.
Drove to Kitchener, checked into hotel, passed out. That was 3 hours ago. Now I'm planning to wake Vinny up and take him to get phone services booked, and then some food. Wish me luck!
More bulletins, stay tuned!
Update: two hours ago, not three. Darn time zones, they're so hard to keep track of.
