Sunpath At Stoney Creek Townhouse Whistler

... together to keep each other company. We ended up skiing the whole day together- which sounds like a long time, but the mountain closes at 3 here. I couldn't believe it, but it was getting dark by 4pm, so I guess it makes sense. I always forget quite how far north we are here, especially compared to the Alps. The skiing was good, but very very icy- there hadn't been any fresh snow for 10 days, and temperatures were well below freezing. Minus 18 to be exact ...

Enjoying a few family days at home, including Thanksgiving turkey dinner with US friends. We went over charts of Turkey and Greece with them in preparation for their trip next summer and this brought back all sorts of wonderful memories of our many trips there.

Starting to plan our trip to South America, which will start in Colombia (via a couple of days in Miami). We then plan to travel on to Venezuela and down into Brazil, where we will travel by boat along the Amazon to the coast and hopefully make it to Salvador in time for Carnival!

All so exciting will keep you posted.

... in. Me and Chris debated back and forth about doing the Peak to Peak gondola ride. I was phyching myself up for it as I am so petrified of heights... and then decided against it as the weather was pretty ****... and it would just seem like a waste of time and money seeing as though there were clouds everywhere!

So instead we spent the day relaxing and lazing around watching DVD's! I wasnt feeling that well... I think I had allergies so I got to sleep some too! ahhhh

... up and down like ours. What a dilemma. Ok that story sounds lame now but at the time we couldn't stop laughing I don't think. Anyway the next bit I remember is us standing in minus temperatures for 2 hours looking at the pretty blue Eiffel tower with special nye stars on it and its hourly glitter show and then the countdown began (the stars started to disappear) and then nothing..as in we saw 2 cracks of fireworks and that's it. PARIS JIPPED US! Then people started ...

Sunny weather once again and we did some hiking around some lakes today. Then onto the very touristy and resorty, Whistler. Our night out started off in DubLynn Gate, an Irish pub, where Megan taught us some Irish dancing. Then onto Moe Joe's for some real dancing. Our 2 days were filled with horseriding at Pemberton. I was a little ...
