Hopefully I will be able to write something on the forum!! But the hotel is kind of in the middle of nowhere... So, if there's no computers there, I'm kind of stuck. I may just end up sending SMS!!

I don't know. No one really practiced with me. But hopefully, it's okay.

Of course, I'll be there!! It's only 2 hours away by plane. My mom is going with me. And, I've posted all the info for you. As for a report... maybe just the most interesting stuff. Not sure yet.

Of course, only the most interesting! Besides, I see only a couple of "interesting" names there, like Brian, Aliona/Robin, Mao Asada...

In pairs, I hope for Aliona and Robin , and that´s not only because they are from Germany ...

Pffft. But, you've forgotten the most *interesting* ones, Vania!!

I find that incredible : travel within its own country by plane... Your country is definitely too big !

Pffff... Usually, pairs is not my favorite category, but you'll have a great pair competition !!! Jessica & Bryce , Aliona & Robin...

And sweetie, don't worry, your French is really OK I'm sure ! Your written French is perfect, so no problem for you to talk. And you have already the Québécois accent and Québécois words , so that's perfect !

Tessa and Scott I didn't forget, I just put the "..."

Yes, the *most* interesting of allllllll interesting!!! It seems that Marina knows. But that's okay... hehe.

Silly Vania I forgot Jess and Bryce, right? Somehow I missed their names while reading the entries

But for me, the most interesting of the most interesting ones are Aliona and Robin

Kisses!

I kneeeew that you were going to comment about that, sweetie!! Because we had talked about the distances between cities in Canada before. To me... 2 hours by plane? That's nothing. But I know that it seems like a lot in Europe, because all of the major cities are closer!!

I knooooow!!! It's verrrrry excitiiiiiing!!! We have a pretty good ice dance competition, too, in my opinion... no major teams, but... ANDREW!

I'm not sure. But I have a while to practice, before meeting them. We are leaving on Hallowe'en (the 31st), so I will be able to practice my French for about 2 days before the skating starts. But thank you for what you said, Marish!!

Yesssss, Jess and Bryce!!!!!! Very good, Vania.

And I'm going to pretend that I didn't see that comment about Aliona and Robyn.
Just kidding. I'm excited to see them, too!!

Wheeeeee!!!!!!! SC is going to be faaaaab!! And yes, I'm going with my mom. Partly for finacial reasons, i.e. students have no money. But mostly because she's my mom!!! Anywho, you love my mom, sestrichka?? MDR! Moi aussi.

Yeah, Marina can send me SMS! I was surprised, but it's true!! It's quite a miracle considering what *my* cellphone thinks of *other* cellphones. But yes, I can give Marina updates. And send them to you too, sweetine! But I know that you cannot reply.
