Four Points by Sheraton Vancouver Airport Richmond

... a Vancouver film and a lumberjack show (woodchop/logrolling demonstration). A full day of fun.
Jasmine's view - My favourite part of it was seeing the 2 grizzly bears close up. They were orphans that had been rescued as cubs. The lumberjacks were really good and one of them fell in the well.

Our second day we spent on Vancouver Island. This time it started off wet but as we ...

... short, so I'll leave it there. Hope alls good with you all and you're all getting drunk in my honour this week. I've been promised Ice-Cream Cake tomorrow by my housemates, and then BBQ and clubbing Saturday (its actually my housemate Katie's birthday Saturday, but I've managed to tag myself on!). Also working at the Killers on Friday, so promises to be a good one. And I should have some embarrassing stories/pictures for you next week! Laters x

... minuette sauce...so refreshing and fresh!! Then, I had the taste sensation - the BBQ oysters. Freshly shucked, grilled in their shell with a garlic butter concoction, then topped with a special BBQ sauce and served with garlic bread. Sooooo good!! As I that wasn't enough...I went on to the Rockefellers...again, freshly shucked and grilled in their shells topped with this homemade butter/spinach/garlic/parmesan magic until ...

... moving there for the time being. Today we came across to Vancouver - love it already. Have already eaten by body weight in shoestring fries (well it was classed as tapas so I felt a need to keep going) - not even the walk around town seems to have shifted the potato load! Our hotel is in a fab location - right next to Stanley Park and looking out onto Sunset beach. So up ...

We began our day by disembarking the Ms Statendam and going through customs. It was very orderly and easy to do. You can tell they've done this sort of thing before. The ship docked at 7 a.m. and our disembarkation time was 9:20. We were part of the Purple Group 4. Purple Group 4's loaded onto a touring coach for a City tour followed by a transfer to the airport. It was an overcast day ...

... I was in the corner blocked by the man (who was beside her) so I escaped it! The elevator stopped on our floor and out we went. I felt bad for her. I'm sure she was embarrassed. I had to help my friend to our room, opening the door and rolling up her sleeves, so she could then de-contaminate herself! We were hoping that she was either a) sea sick or b) had too much to drink (even though it was before 10am!) and NOT c) the dreaded Noro-virus. Luckily neither of us ...

... more conscientiously or lovingly cared for our dog, Tika. He opened his heart and his home to this short/long furry creature and she thrived. It was such a treat to return and see her so happy in her surroundings, playing with Jake and loving Chris. I don't think we will ever measure up to the gourmet puppy diets they received. It was great to be behind the wheel of our Echo and headed north. In one of the photos ...

... to New York from where we head on to Lima. Everything goes well with the first flight as we depart on time and make it to New York JFK. This is where things start to go pear shaped for us. Firstly, we are at the back of a huge queue for immigration even though we are catching a connecting flight which takes them 20 minutes to sort out for us. We then leg it across ...

... beer and a good meal at Milestones went down real nice after eating pretty poorly during the whole road trip. As you can imagine I wasn't feeling too hot as the night wore on. I think that I started to relax a little now that I had reached my destination and the fatigue of sleeping 20 or so hours in 4 days hit me hard, so I crashed in my room at the Sylvia, which Dad and Cheryl got for me, which was awesome, and right across the street from them. After a couple of ...
