Voyageur Bus to Greyhound Bus in Ottawa, Ontario

             Greyhound Bus Station 


My FIRST TIME last Friday September 4th - Monday September 7th, 1987 for long  weekend that at 7am I went on Voyageur Bus from Ottawa, Ontario to North Bay, Ontario at the Bus Station for 4 hours at 100 Station Road from 11:45am. The Greyhound Bus gate number #5. I survived without anyone.


The reason why I went to North Bay, Ontario because my parent picked me up then went home to Bracebridge, Ontario  also I had to try on my Wedding dress for next day by my Mum made it for me same as my Maid of Honor, the Bridesmaids and Flower girl as well.
From North Bay, Ontario to Bracebridge, Ontario we drove for 2 hours.
No one in my friends is there with me. Just strangers, with a face that looks as if it has traveled a thousand miles of good road.

My SECOND TIME this July 30th to August 2nd, 2015 for a long weekend that I went on
Greyhound Bus from Ottawa, Ontario to Belleville, Ontario at the Bus Station for 4 hours at 165 Pinnacle Street.


The Greyhound Bus gate number #8. I survived without my children.

The reason why I went to Belleville, Ontario because my Uncle picked me up then went their home to Ameliasburg near Belleville, Ontario also I went Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf by Reunion weekend. I went there fifth times in Reunion.

I left by 3:30pm from my home to downtown at 265 Catherine Street from OC Transpo Bus also Greyhound Bus picked me up at 5pm until got there in Belleville, Ontario  at 9:05pm.
No one in my friends there with me. Just strangers, with a face that look as if it has traveled a thousand miles of good road again.

Then next Sunday I left by 5pm from my Aunt, Uncle and second cousin Regean from Zwick Park to dropped me off at Bus Station then Greyhound Bus picked me up at 6:45pm and back to Ottawa, Ontario at 10:45pm.
They did save my life.

After that I got off Bus Station then my son Warren meet me at Bus Station for first time then we walked to sidewalk to got our OC Transpo Bus from Bank Street to Iris Street got off and walked home for 20 minutes then finally got home before midnight.
I'm really glad, appreciated and supported me as well that he did great job with his Mum.

At first place, I did approved sleep over at my friend Julie Maisonneuve's Apartment but little bit save my life sleep over this July 29th to August 2nd at Palmer Road in Belleville, Ontario. But the problem is rides because I asked her about ride for Wine and Cheese last  Friday July 31st from 7pm - 11pm, She already asked Donna Fano's vehicle also she forget about me also full seats so she say to me have to ask someone's vehicle.
It's bad situation about a rides.

 My Aunt did drop me off and picked me up for Wine and Cheese at Trenton and Saturday all day at Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf for day time but at night time at Air Force Museum for Reunion Dinner. Also next day by Sunday morning my Uncle did drop me off at Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf for Bus Shuttle about Deaf Cemetery.
That was my FIRST TIME visited Deaf Cemetery in the past for fourth Reunions.
They did saved my life for Reunion weekend.

I did post facebook for 2 weeks but no answer reply to me. I am not happy with the news.
I'm very furious getting a ride but that not easy.

I still DOUBLE NO CHOICE AGAIN I already take by Greyhound Bus to Belleville, Ontario and stayed overnight at my Aunt and Uncle's place instead Julie's Apartment because of no rides from Trenton, Ontario.

I felt too much work, tired and too much stressed for me.
I did paid for Greyhound Bus tickets for 2.

Did you know....Most Butterflies are Deaf?

The beautiful butterfly has come to symbolize for the sign.
The miracle of transformation that every butterfly goes through parallels the experience of many deaf and hard of hearing individuals who, with the help and support, emerge ready to spread their wings.


When I was childhood that I found Monarch caterpillar at the bush from my old hometown until teenager.
Then I kept watched every day to feed leaves until became to hatch from changed to the green chryalis.

                                and

  Again I kept watched it until changed to the black chryalis.

Next few days later that I saw changed the color from green chryalis to black chryalis so waited until break out from hatch.

Last one I saw changed to clear hatch into Monarch butterfly then flew away.
