Vance Creek Hotel Vernon

Torrance (Shannon) and Todd live in a sumptuous condo - unfurnished, except for a couch and coffee table in the living room, their bed in their room, and the super comfortable guest room bed. But the apartment itself is so beautifully appointed that furniture would seem redundant - and the space is wonderful. Their camper van has been temporarily demoted to transport only, instead of transport and house. Koh ...

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>

... worthwhile exhibit. Mabel Lake - Picturesque summer village that has a unique housing development, golf course and Airpark design where a landing strip runs right through the middle of the golf course. The back alleys are taxiways where the pilot can take his plane directly to his house. Goat Walk Orchard - Very interesting and colorful pit-stop along Hwy 97. They sell everything! And there's goats running around all over the ...

... local Courthouse, and the construction and carvings in the stones suggest it was built for a purpose, yet there's no monument tablet anywhere near to explain the enigma. But the fountain wasn't running today and there aren't enough trees here to block the highway noise, so after catching my breath I decided to head back home. And anyway my short trip around town somehow already sucked up two more hours. Heading home was a journey all ...

... Huegel von unserem Haus runtefahren/rutschen. Dann mit 30km/h bis zur Arbeit tuckern. Mit nur 15 Minuten Verspaetung erreiche ich (leicht angespannt, aber lebend) das Weingut. Arbeitend war echt anstregend an dem Tag, aber nichts im Vergleich zur Rueckfahrt. Als ich es endlich bis zu dem Tor von unserem Grundstueck geschafft habe, hat es das Auto natuerlich nicht den Berg hoch geschafft. Kein Wunder, denn die Auffahrt wird nur von den Bewohnern genutzt und erinnert somit eher ...

... for the treatment of physical, emotional, spiritual or mental disease. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands in which they claim that they act as channels for Reiki energy - which they say flows through their palms to specific parts of the body in order to facilitate healing. It was a wonderful and power experience for both John and I, and we are both looking forward to doing our Level 2! This morning it hit me that ...

... John with dinner at La Dolce Vita - a restaurant near our home that we've been wanting to try for a while. It is a quaint Italian restaurant with great atmosphere. And the food was fantastic! The bill however... yikes. I'm enjoying this coaching class I am currently taking- Financial Independence. There is a lot of good conversation and sharing of insights etc. We all are learning a lot about ourselves and how we ...

... whoops :( Sorry.... Not to worry, I got my new 2006 daytimer today and have been busy inserting friends birthdays - top priority after missing a few! Oh - just looked at the time... Pilot Guides is coming on in a minute (travel show for those of you not in the know)... gotta see where they are heading to today! ooh.. Hong Kong and Taiwan... gotta go get all educated about it as we'll be there not so far away!

... seemed to trivialize things in a way that just blew me away. Then again, I was coming from the outside and didn't work in this environment every day, maybe over time I would trivialize things too. But no, I think it is more about how easy it is to lose perspective. Anyhow. So the agency called me on Thurs and asked if I would be interested in a full time position starting, gulp, Monday. I thought about it, even agreed to an interview (which I later found out that they were ready ...

... world. They all seem to have mastered the art of charging exuberant prices when demand exceeds supply. Sods! Instead we settled for a nice detached 5-bedroom property in a nice neighbourhood. Its only 5 mins from the local lake (fishing, swimming, boating, tottie spotting, etc ;-). All that I can say is that it's a really really nice place, its got a good feel to it. It also has a pool and a hot tub, which if I'm ...
