... they need to do EVERY day, and they get to keep track of it on their charts. For this they get some pocket money at the end of the week (depending on consistency and attitude). We then have a devotion time and some Spanish words (we defintely need to put some more time into this before we hit Spain!), and then we're unhooking everything (ie: water, power, sewage), making sure everything's secured, before we hit the road. By the time we ...

... in my carpool! => Had a fantastic day! This new activity challenged me physically as well as mentally. I loved the thought processes involved in navigating in this new space - like making the vertical become horizontal by adjusting your body to move comfortably. The support system was amazing and the ease at which we each trusted total strangers with our safety was unbelievable. Of course, I process this ...

... traveler would do. I got on TV, a stranded traveler with a cute dog and a compelling story. (search CTV on the internet for coverage of Bomber.) Then I considered walking around. But ultimately I decided to hitchhike. By boat. Dwight, it turned out, was my savior. He and his son Jackson picked me up and took me by speedboat through beautiful Howe Sound--towering mountains and granite on either side. It was magnificent, free, and Dwight, of course, was ...

... and Hong Kong to Vancouver. The last flight was 12 hours and we were in the last 2 seats of the plane. The AC was on full blast and it was freezing. It was a long flight, but we finally made it and we were happy to see Zoe's parents. It's bitter-sweet being home, but we know that someday we will continue our trip. - Jesse

... amount of Japanese and Korean restaurants I saw on the way from the airport, it's about the same as Sydney . Good news for me because being a lover of Asian cuisine I expected not to find much here, when in fact there are more Asian restaurants than Sydney. As I mentioned, I am staying at the Cambie Hostel which brings new meaning to the term 'roughing it'. I couldn't quite find the entrance at first so a guy that looked in his 40's asked me if I was looking for the Cambie ...

One Saturday in January we went to Brackendale, about an hour north, to see the massive flock of Bald Eagles that converge upon the river from November to February to gorge themselves on salmon. They mostly feed early in the morning but there were still plenty around when we got there, including a juvenile in the tree just above us. It was massive, even for a young one. We also ...

... dry inside, a rare treat indeed! The main shopping area is in Robson street, so we headed there on our way back to the hostel. We went into various shops along the way and spent time in the internet café again, bought a new book each, bought goodies for our train ride and then got a taxi to the train station, happy to be leaving. The train was on time for a 5:30pm departure and we were very excited to be going to a "real" ski village. We settled in and enjoyed our ...

... went ballistic on his cell phone when he discovered his girlfriend broke up with him. Not only was he absurdly loud and drunk, but his ****** reception forced him to hover over our tent, which apparently was the only site in the area with decent service. As the sun rose up, the pleasant sounds of birds chirping were harmonized with "F-bombs" and death threats. That was when we decided to pack up and headed to Whislter.

We stayed at Porteau Cove Provincial Park outside of Squamish where the Bigfoot was 10 feet away from high tide line. Wonderful views of snowcapped peaks & ocean all around. Quite spectacular. Shale loved the shore & balancing on the gigantic driftwood. She's quite the ocean dog! People were scuba diving to check out an old sunken ship.
