Chromeo Day 2, Drive to Thunder Bay, ON

Toronto to Thunder Bay is a ridiculously long drive. About 17 hours or so. Our plan was to get out by noon, so we could have some sleep and it almost worked. We were up and had breakfast and were back at the hotel by 11am. Then we waited because some business stuff had to get taken care of. Then we realized the hitch on the trailer was damaged, so we had to get that fixed, which we could do with a quick trip to Canadian Tire, but it all added up and we didn't leave Toronto til about 1:30pm. Then we had to stop to get gas, pick up stuff like bottled water for the drive, and by the time we were moving for real, it was almost 3pm. Insane. Not good.

We spent the rest of the day just driving down the Trans-Canada. It was long and painful. Even more so for me. I started my driving shift at 11:30pm in Sault-Ste.-Marie. 8 hours later we pulled in to Thunder Bay. 7:30am. It hurt like hell. We got in to the hotel and there were people all over the lobby saying good morning and drinking their coffee, going to meetings. So weird. Being the consummate professionals we are, we crashed as fast as possible. Plan is to leave by noon to get to Regina next...
