Heaven. Happiness. Home. Hilton.

We were very excited to leave the hotel where the cockroaches lived. After packing up, we went to breakfast after no sleep and felt like death. We also decided the only safe thing to eat was toast. Then, like magic, Emily pulls out a tub of Jif peanut butter that Janice (her mom, who is the MAN) told her to bring. This peanut butter saved our lives and we actually dreamed about it for the remainder of the day. Janice, we love you.
So, after the giant cockroach situation we said "f*** this noise" and went to the glorious Hilton. After we left cockroach hell, we ventured to a couple shopping malls to test our luck. 
We also hit the City Palace, a gorgeous site in the middle of the city. After we got to the hotel, we decided to blow off the tourist part of the day and enjoy the resort-like awesomeness that is this hotel. We also ate amazing food and had beds with more than plywood and a sheet.

I am so very glad to see that when the "going gets tought" . . . the girls head for the Hilton!!!!

Great pool from the looks of it.

Candace and Sarah - I'm going to send you some photos from the Fredericton flood. Water, water all around there.

There was only the Westmorland Street bridge open so traffic was havoc.

Keep having a great time - the blog is inspired!
