Had such a hard time getting out of bed! Chris was up before 6:00 for conference calls and ended up needing to go buy a phone because the one provided wouldn't hold a charge for very long. Unfortunately, nothing was open until after his first call, so he had to use his cel phone--major mula! As soon as he could get a break we drove over to Best ...

I arrived in Vancouver. Phoebe Williams and I are sharing accommodations at the conference hotel. Our posters will be on display Tues-Thurs. My presentation is Tuesday afternoon.
The city is beautiful. Tomorrow I will post pictures.

Day 33 Saturday 13th December Hello again from Canada! I was passing an internet cafe and thought I'd pop on to check out the X Factor results (yes I'm sad) and do a quick update since I won't get online tomorrow. Last night I was so tired from travelling and my afternoon in the city so I had a quiet evening, having a quick bite to eat near the ...

Here I sit at YVR waiting for Trevor to arrive so we can start the first leg of our journey today to Hong Kong. It feels really strange to be setting up a new travel blog but my Khali (Veneta!) won't be joining me on this adventure... It is my first trip over the pond without her... I already miss you Vee! I had become incredibly spoiled travell...

We checked into our high-rise hotel and went to dinner at the Aqua Riva on the harbor. Before we ever left home, we ordered steak for this dinner, but immediately wished we'd spoken for seafood. The view of the harbor from the restaurant was wonderful!

Day Three:

We are off to Vancouver! We stopped and had breakfast at this place called Beth's which had the biggest omelets' I have ever seen! They were the size of a pizza!! (Jonathan cups more nuts)The drive up is pretty uneventful we mostly take in the scenery. Jonathan plays me a bunch of kick ass music after yelling at me for hogging ...

Today we walked to English Bay, probably about a 45-minute walk from our hotel, but actually taking much longer, as we browsed around any shops that we thought looked interesting. Also, we stopped at the Dover Arms Neighborhood Pub for a refreshment before continuing on. Walking along the beach, we came upon the Vancouver Inukshuk, a symbol whic...

Starting one's day being beaten up by a large Slovakian man professing to be an expert in deep tissue massage, becomes only slightly more painful when your wife is on the table beside you hearing your yelps of pain.  A calming walk through Stanley Park, along the sea wall and through fern laden dark forest paths improves my mood significantly, a...

It was soo nice to stop home for the day! How awesome are my friends and family? they were so great! They took the day off work, baked me cupcakes and brought me lovely things, and all came on the boat to see it!! It was such a fabulous time!! I was super happy!! Made me so glad to live in vancouver, and actually began to look forward to coming ...

Well, arriving in Vancouver I must admit, it really is as nice as people have said. It was cloudy and drizzling but flying into the airport was awesome with all the mountains in the background. Only had a brief 1hr stopover here while I met up with 3 other people whom Id be travelling with to Osaka. Ive never been in a room/waiting area with so ...
