... the countdown for the winter olympics I think he must o been fed up waiting peer bugger there's only another 246 days to go!! And guess what.... yes you guessed it Kelly took a photo!

Leaving on the Rocky Mountaineer tomorrow to Kamloops but we leave in the middle of the night...7am? That is just a rang!

well no more to do than head off for a couple o beers. It ...

... This is an area about 80' by 16', at the back of the boat. Very seldom is anyone there so I've claimed it as my own little hideaway. The panorama was taken from there this morning.

The day had been very gray and somewhat rainy off and on. The weather thought hasn't stopped us from having a good time. Being up early, I had a first breakfast in the buffet area. I sat down at a table with someone that was ...

... which was unusual, so I was thinking they had to make up the pennies on the bus leg.... but nope. The bus was a very plush, very comfortable tour couch, with a hilarious driver from Taiwan, air conditioning and ample leg room. Sweeeet.

I had a nice young mexican lad sitting behind me, and we chatted for a while. He also didn't know where NZ was, but he was from a remote part of Mexico, and could hold an intelligent conversation, so I forgave him.

Aside from that the ride ...

On a random whim we were taken as a class to Fort Langley. In my honest opinion, it sounded far less interesting than it actually was. It wasn't as drop-dead boring as I had anticipated. However, it would've been much more interesting had the stores/shops actually been OPEN. Apparently, many shops closed on Mondays/Tuesdays which was unlucky for us because we didnt get to see much besides whatever was in the windows. We found a few places ...

... world to view at my own expense and time. Mr. Ranville is a self-taught researcher born in Manitoba. While living in Vancouver, he became acquainted with the Oak Island mystery and began studying it. Both Oak Island and Birch Island are private property, and access must be sought by permission of the landowners. # # # Leading Oak Island Independent Researcher ...

... Bay. We visited the Public Market (We bought a mini pecan pie in celebration of Thanksgiving) and went on an 25 minute Aqua Bus tour. We ate dinner on the island at a place called the Sandbar. This restaurant had the most beautiful view that we have ever seen! They gave us the best seat, which overlooked the water. There was open ceiling seating! They had heat lamps, a fire place and gave you blankets! Great first day!

... to wear green and paint my face green. But my mom said that when my dad and his friend went and wore green and painted there face green people spat on them and yelled things at them. My grandpa said that if I wore green he wouldn't take me. Anyway Saskatchewan won 26 to 16.

... will pick us up and take us to their place for a couple days. Finally, I have limited my travel companions to a single bag each. This may be a challenge. They have come up with a few ideas to conserve space-- sharing shampoo and a straightening iron-- but Lani wants me to actually help her pack, so I might be going back to Kelowna the weekend before we leave. -Ashley

... due to the fact that the coffee here is ****- apprarently all Starbucks people are fully qualified Baristas, so I wonder why their coffee is so awful! Have done mostly family stuff so far- saw Grandma and Grandpa yesterday in their new apartment which was great, slept for 14hours to get over my jetlag (hopefully mum got some sleep too after being awake at 3am so she could call my aunty and tell her my new flight details from LA ...

I was really looking forward to Vancouver. I had heard a lot of positive things about it from everyone I know who had been. Plus I knew that Hollywood often uses it as a substitute for major US cities when filming. They claim that it is cleaner, nicer, and cheaper than any city in the US. I have not found any of this to be true. First, this is probably the worst time in recent history for Americans to visit Canada. The exchange rate is 1 for 1 making it a very expensive ...
