Aug 1, 2008 - Whistler - Tofino (314 km forget it --------> 986 KILOMETER tnx to rockslide)

Het is 04.00 uur, veel te vroeg dus, zeker als je weet dat we beiden slecht hebben geslapen. Met meer dan 900 km voor de boeg niet meteen het prettigste vooruitzicht. Maar geen geklaag, we moeten erdoor om tot in Tofino te komen en onze trip verder te zetten. Nog voor 05.00 uur zitten we al en route. Het is hier nog steeds bitterkoud en het regent nog altijd. Opletten geblazen in de kronkelige bergen. We volgen de hele weg terug langsheen we in Whistler waren geraakt. Ik kan dus nog even mijn ogen dicht doen, want been there, done...

Dec 29, 2007 - Getting Ready to go

Been busy getting the RV ready to go. There is so much to learn and plan! Dave has changed all the fuses and light bulbs, checked wiring, electrical systems, water system, propane systems and is now trying to set up the TV antenna to keep us connected.

Dec 18, 2007 - where are all the taxis?

The staff at AirCanada were quite shirty with us ... "you are meant to check in at a least an hour before" .. I mean, we were 2mnutes past that deadline, and if the AirCanada international check was situated where is is meant to be (like in the international departures area) we would have been on time. Anyway, fortunately I have previously checked in online, so we managed to squeak in.

Aug 18, 2007 - Island Retreat!

Saturday afternoon, August 18 It's raining. Again. Hearing "rain again" so often, you probably think I'm getting tired of it. Truth is, it's been both refreshing and aggravating! When we're in the car, trying to locate sights, hampered by a deluge of rain falling on the windshield, it is, admittedly, not my favorite thing. On the other hand, the sound of softly falling rain is quite soothing. Makes a body want to slow down, stay absolutely still and enjoy the moment. So that's what I'm doing - listening ... enjoying ... writing. And I...
