Back from my quick 3-day trip to Chicago! As usual, my sister and I ended up fitting too many things in our itinerary. Poor Tomomi must have learned the hard way how difficult it is to travel with us. =P Starting off our trip at Billy Bishop Airport, we took the ferry towards the terminal and waited in the Porter lounge until it was time for boarding.

It’s hard to believe the amount of activities we packed into their schedule during their stay in Mississauga! The delegate who came to stay with us this year was named Mika. She was super cute and we had lots of fun taking her around places in Mississauga and Toronto. Since it was also her first time traveling abroad, the trip was…
