Well, trip is over. Back to "reality". I strongly encourage anyone who has the inclination to go see the world to get out and do it. Travel is an education in itself, and I'm glad I threw myself out there to see everything there was to offer. I can't wait to do more.
Thanks for reading, and coming around the world with me.

Wallet
Well, after New York, I took the 12 hour train ride up to Toronto, running through Niagara Falls. The plan was to visit family and friends over the next few weeks, and I was going to rent a car to do so. Took a cab from the train station to where I was renting a car.
Unfortunately, it was after the cab left that I realised that my wallet was still inside. So, faced with no Credit Cards, no Driver's Licence, no bank card, and no idea as to the cab company that took off with everything, I made the decision that it was time to return home. Luckily, I had my passport and a ticket booked from Toronto to Calgary already, so after some haggling with Westjet, I was set to leave the next day.
With only $9 in my pocket, I made my way to Calgary, where after sitting in the airport for 10 hours, I was thankfully picked up by my sister.
I have been back in Edmonton now for about a week, and things are rolling along. I have bought a house already, and should return to work soon after possession.
