... and comprehensible, especially Todd's explanation about the differences between old world and new world wines. In the evening, we relaxed over Todd's excellent culinary creations, talked with Sal on Skype, and watched Casablanca.<br> There were a couple of glitches with my air tickets. Air Canada didn't have notes about my connections, so my flight to Calgary had been changed (without notice) to one ...

... bei gutem wetter haette ich einige aktivitaeten an der frischen luft unternehmen koennen, doch so hatte ich nicht unbedingt lust. <br><br>noch eine kleine geschichte zum schluss: die tickets bei oeffentlichen parkhaeusern werden erst bei der ausfahrt bezahlt. in der schweiz kennen wir ja das reissverschluss-system, wenn es um lange autoschlangen geht. also habe ich in guter schweizer manier einen wagen beim ausgang vorgelassen, da ich ...

... tinc ara al cap es passar als USA per arribar a Seattle. Hi entrare pel seu flanc mes desprotegit, la frontera d'Osoyoos. No us perdeu els noticiaris, en sentireu a parlar.<br>That's all folks<br><br>Oscar.<br><br>PS: just quan ja marxava de Kelowna se'm va presentar una periodista catalana de Terrassa. Ens vam seure junts a esmorzar i el nostre angles ens va delatar abans d'un minut. Portava un any a Nova Zelanda i tres mesos a Canada, havia estat fent la temporada de ...

From Kaslo we went to the Halcyon Hot Springs which is really beautiful but very commercial. Then we headed west to the Okanagon Valley, the banana belt for BC. It's got some great wines too.<br><br>We stopped on the way at Fauquier and played golf at yet another beautiful course.<br>

... Einkäufe bezahlt.<br><br>Getrübt wurde unser Aufenthalt nur von der Tatsache, dass weiter südwestlich grosse Waldbrände wüteten. Diese trieben grosse Staub- und Aschewolken über das Gebiet, wo wir uns aufhielten. Am zweiten Nachmittag war es ganz schlimm, da senkte sich eine Ascheschicht auf allem, so dass man sich kaum mehr lange draussen aufhalten konnte. Wie sich später herausstellen sollte, war dies auch der Grund, dass der K ...

... out of an 80's thriller movie. It would have been a perfect time for the Ogopogo to get us, but I guess he was otherwise engaged. We finished some last minute data organization at our favourite coffee shop and then loaded up the truck. It was one of the only sunny afternoons that we had in the "sunny" Okanogan as we trundled out of town toward the Kootenays. We'll miss everything, especially the people and our great campsite. Not the ground-squirrels though.

... auf der Ladeflaeche platz. Im Schneegestoeber hatten die beiden aber ihren Spass (gut am Gejaule zu erkennen). Nur der Ausstieg hat bei Ben nicht mehr so ganz geklappt und so ist er unsanft Kopfueber auf dem Parkplatz gelandet. Bis auf das Schienbein blieb aber alles heil. Johannes lacht heute noch bei der Erinnerung an den Stunt-Sturz. Nachdem alle schon kraeftig Wein getrunken hatten, ging es nun mit Tequilla und Freibier in der Karaoke-Bar weiter. Das fuehrte dann auch ...

... 40th birthday and danced away to the pub band with the mixed crowd of mullets, saggy cleavages and dolled up young things hoping for a great night out in a small town. The highlight was when we were playing a drinking game which involved dares, and we were all up on our chairs doing the chicken dance. Instead of throwing us out like most bouncers would, these ones just walked over to us and calmly told us to 'Be Careful'! The following day we continued our ...

... is scared witless about flying...You know who you are Jo...... !! ;-) For anyone who has been missing me on here recently (ha ha), the reason is I am addicted to Suduko at the moment..... Sarah and I spend two days in a competition on who could complete them the quickest and now I am continuing so I cam whoop her ass next time! Enough from me for now as booze beckons as it is Saturday evening ... Take Care to everyone out there.....

... the hostel (we had taken niki & now (Japanese) with us as they didn't have transport). The afternoon had canoeing in store for us which was free with the hostel. Kt and I went upstream as advised (if too tired on way back you can just float back) but couldn't stay out too long as the canoe has a minor whole which seeped water. We did know this before going out and were prepared with a bailing bucket. we didn't spot the beavers that were in the area but saw plenty of fish and trees floating ...
