Day 0 - Packing

Getting ready for the flight out to Toronto and experiencing one of THE most relaxing packing experiences ever. Leaving on a Tuesday certainly makes things simpler and there isn't the mad rush to throw shit into bags. Still, I am certain we'll forget something very vital and curse on the...

Vancouver

I arrived in Vancouver, from Calgary, to be greeted with some very English weather...RAIN. I had been warned that Vancouver, being on the coast, had a very similar climate to that of the UK. As I arrived late in the day (Saturday) I simply dropped my things at the hostel, got showered, then hit...

Calgary

Although leaving Banff was difficult, I was looking forward to seeing Canada's Cowboy capital - Calgary. Mum's friends from Portage, Linda & Barrie, picked me up & drove me to their daughter's (Bess') place in Calgary. Bess had kindly offered me accommodation for the week. It was a nice little...

Day 17a

Here's my dad's messy office. It seems that clutter propensity is highly communicative, either genetically or by early exposure. Now, keep in mind that I didn't grow up with my dad and yet I still share the same penchant for messy messes with the messness. Growing up with my dad was summer and...

Day 16

I admit this is a poor image of the breadth of family I experienced though it is just uncomfortable enough to be genuine. Here is a small moment we shared. Sister was covering for the office receptionist, step mom is the regional manager (or some such high level), dad is visiting with me...

Moving again...

It feels like ages since I last sat down to do this - possibly because of how busy I have been, & all that I have seen. Many of you will be pleased to know that this entry is going to mostly comprise of photos (it seems that many of you aren't too keen on reading?!). Anyway, here...

Hiking & drinking

After my stunning journey down through the National Parks I arrived in Banff. Banff is larger than Jasper, as there are three Ski resorts very close by. The town only has a population of 8000, as it seems to serve the travellers & holiday makers that visit the area. The hostel I was...

Day 15b

a gorgeous adventure, a lovely trip, a solo journey. Sunset on the way to the Canadian Border. Did I ever tell you that I see God in glorious sunsets? I do. Not necessarily this one. The detail, the glowing colors, the scale of the thing triggers the god chord in my 8th circut, the...

Back at Home - Which feels strange

Alrightie, So I am back home and it is the most bizarre feeling in the world. I knew adjusting to life at home would be difficult but I had no idea how much!! I feel so useless, not helped by the fact that I'm not currently working or in school. I miss my kids too, but I'm pretty sure they...
