Days Inn Bellingham

That is my first job in Vancouver and I am still emloyed to the end of October and then I will be layed off, because there are not that many people who want to rent a motorhome in the middle of the wintertime;-)<br>Soooooo, Kohle is looking for a new job=)<br>

... with the mechnics while I kept trying to get her to start. We spent most of the day bleeding the fuel system trying to get her to go and she wouldn't fire. At my wits end I tried the diesel soaked rag over the intake trick and got her to go. We did end up leaving the dock!!! Our trip across the bay wen't mostly smoothly with one problem. The engine overheated. The raw water seacock was only partially open. I killed ...

After some bit of research I decided that I was not going to find an elbow at a reasonable price here in town. I've fabricated our elbow out of galvanized pipe and I've purchased new exhaust hose. We've put bottom paint on and the Cutlass is in. All of the thu-hulls are done with seacocks in place and she would float right now if we wanted. The steering cables need some tweaking. The turnbuckle hits the block ...

... of her entry into the Miss Hawaii contest, etc. She won that !!! She also won the Miss USA pageant. Two months later, we watched as she was also crowned Miss Universe. We still have the napkin. Anyways, we arrived in sunny, hot Palm Springs that afternoon. Having missed a scheduled golf game with our friends, we met them for a dip in the pool and supper at Jim & Doris' with Jim & Della. The next day we departed for Yuma, Arizona.

Monday 18th August We left after breakfast and drove up to Bellingham which is about 10 miles from the Canadian border. This was to be our last day in the states. As the weather was terrible we decided to go to a mall. We found a really good one called the Bellis Fair Mall which is obviously very popular with Canadians, who come across the border in droves to take advantage of ...

Today's blogger: just a few quick comments from Kory. I'm hoping Kelsey will add her comments soon. Today's photog: Kory We left Leavenworth under a clear blue sky this morning and headed back towards the west coast on Highway 2, a different route than we took yesterday. At Stevens Pass, elevation approximately 4,000 feet, there was still snow on the side of the road. Of course we had to stop like idiots on the side of the road and take some ...

... dark! Wednesday I decided to wander back to Stanley park. I walked through the hippy/gay district, not that exciting (although my room mate informs me it's pride week here next week so no doubt it would be exciting then if you're into that sort of thing). I decided to hire a bike and spend a lovely couple of hours riding around the park next to the sea wall then tried to do a bit of cross country through it up and down the bike paths ...

... que me topé con una iglesia muy grande, con un gran rosetón en la entrada y dos torres, muy al estilo de Notre Dam, extrañamente me refugie ahi, me sente un momento hasta que el dolor de cabeza que comenzaba a transformarse en algo permamente desaparecio, cuando regresé a la calle, sencillamente había sol, un arcoiris, cual cuento de hadas, camine mas tiempo, hasta que me topé con un sitio Oriental, Lemon ...

... want! I even made it over to the Sunshine Coast for a few days, and made Christmas crafts with Mom. Melissa was a sweetie for putting up with me staying with her for most of the week, I seem to be a bad influence on her when it comes to shopping (but you love the leather jacket, right??). Really, none of you are shocked I am sure! The bizarre thing was that almost from when I arrived to today, Van has been completely socked in ...

... work for Good Friday, so me, Wendy, Josh and Tim went to Lynn Valley Canyon. This park has a suspension bridge and some hiking trails, and is beautiful. It was a gorgeous day so we sat by the water and soaked up the sun and laughed at Josh as he went rock hopping and nearly fell in the freezing cold water. It was also my first time on the Seabus (the boat that goes from downtown to North Vancouver). On the Saturday I went to Foxfest, which is a local music festival run by ...
