Executive Hotel Burnaby Vancouver

... Well, time proved impossible to pick up as we were on a highway that wound round and round the BC mountains with the scenery being distracting at times. Jenn finally got a chance to see some wildlife when I had to slow down on the highway to allow a mountain goat to jump back over the barrier. <br><br>The beauty of the National Parks and the interior of BC were soon replaced by the strangest and most unexpected site on the entire trip. As we approached ...

... langen flug....so riefen wir dann halt doch den hostal-owner an,dass er uns doch bitte aufgabeln soll ;-)<br><br> Das Hostal ist eine totale Bruchbude, schmudelig und dreckig ...so etwas wäre bei uns längst abgerissen worden oder von einem Statiker als unbewohnbar deklariert und gesperrt worden. naja;der hostal-besitzer IST ja selber auch schon länger ausgezogen dort (war ursprünglich einfach sein einfamilienhäuschen,das er bewohnte). nun hat er ein schönere ...

Only 35 more days until Jennifer and I leave on our trip. The week previous to our departure we have appointments to have our nails, toes and eyebrows done (well we both have the manicures and pedicures booked but I would never let anyone pluck my eyebrows as I'm too much of a wimp OUCH!) and we've also booked the entire morning and part of the afternoon of the day we leave at the spa. We are getting massages ...

... on the international monetary exchange rate. Its $4.50 - $5.00 (large/grande size), same as Ozzie land. I like Starbucks in Australia. Vancouverian coffee in general taste like the beans went down with the Titanic and were resurrected - watery and no flavour. On Monday, I tried Starbucks' pumpkin spiced latte. I took a photo in case no one believed me. Again, gross :o) Signing off to hit the shops - Robson Street and the malls. Love xo

... using internet banking, it sends me a code via SMS to complete the transfer (security feature). Stupid stupid stupid me forgot that my phone wasn't set up for international roaming and I should have got something sorted out before I left. Now I'll have to try to organise it over the phone. We also walked to Granville Island which is really a peninsular not an island, but it had some public markets and some cool shops also. When it was time to ...

... s local bank" than initially promised! Sigh. However, they assure me that we will have our bank cards by the end of the week.... all our money is tied up in an account we can't access unless we go to one specific branch. Very tedious. Ben's then going to get us both Social Security numbers this week after which we are more established as far as the authorities are concerned. As for darling Anna.... she's been delightful! Her birthday's on Friday and we've ...

... the boat ride gave me the chance to look round Vancouver island a bit. That was lovely, but it was 37 C so I didn't manage much walking. Thursday and Friday I went on an organised overnight trip to Whislter - a ski resort in winter, but still very scenic in summer. It was the best thing I've done so far even if there were a few too many Germans on the bus. Then again - they always did like invading other ...

... s the story we're sticking with). The remaining three teams will play a second round robin, with the first place team (ranking to be determined by results from both round robin) going into the finals directly. To earn a berth in the finals, the third place team has to beat the second place team twice, but the second place team has to beat the third place team only once. The finals will be in the one match, winner takes all, variety. <br ...
