You might want to sit down: my summer holiday starts on April 11th! I only have one final exam in the exam period, so I'm free to leave after that. I don't fly home until the 22nd May though, so I have a fair amount of time to fill. Thankfully, I have lots of people to visit who'll help me fill that time! At first, I was planning on buying an old car and driving it around the States, but I've been effectively persuaded against that: it's pretty unreliable and actually buying/insuring a car could be tricky in Canada given my status.
So at the moment my plans are to visit New York for a few days first, fly over to sunny California for two weeks, rent a car there to drive with, then buy a railpass for the US and catch the train all the way from San Francisco to Chicago - 51 hours! I have plenty of friends dotted around the Midwest from Minneapolis to Ohio who I can spend about 2 weeks visiting, and then I'll come back to Toronto for the last weekend and fly home! (sniff)
Alternatively, I could do it the other way around, with the Midwest first and California last. It's all up in the air: especially if I fly.

Will you be coming back to Canada for school next year, Chris, or is this it?
This is it, I'm afraid Julian. I'll have to found the GFCTO Diaspora!
