One last day – one last city

One last day and one last city before jumping a plane – or two – and returning home. It’s been a simply amazing trip full of meeting incredible people, seeing incredible sights and since my hubby is with me, paying incredibly large bills for the beer at restaurants :o)
We arrived in Vancouver on Thursday. I have landed in Wellington a few times. Sideways. As you often do when you land in Wellington. But I have never really landed in torrential rain. As we did in Vancouver. Ok I exagerate a little, but I’m crossing that one off the list of things to do. (and since starting this blog post I can now add ‘sitting through a thunder storm whilst on the 15th floor of a hotel block on vancouver harbour off the list also).

Arrived at our hotel – beautiful place to stay – Shame on you vancouver for not putting on better weather. We discovered today when the rain cleared that there is a harbour and ships in the view right where Paul is standing. Eating an icecream. In the rain. lol.

So anyway the rain cleared long enough today for us to head out to Stanley Park and go to the Aquarium. I had instructions from Jacob to see the beluga whales. Freaky things. We also saw lots of squirrels in Stanley Park. This pic is for you, Jakey.

Here are the tired travellers.

And those leaves are exactly why we don’t call this season ‘Fall’. The leaves were amazing. I guess NZ (well the area where I live anyway) will stick with the-leaves-don’t-really-do-much-exciting Autumn title.

Ok so we leave in about 14 hours. My mind is already on Crafting Connection and that tour,which happens in under 3 weeks. I have just checked the schedule and see some of my classes being closed off as full. I LOVE the full classes!

I’m scrapbooking my travel journal – anyone that took pics in Canada… Anam, Trisha, Sarah, Kelly…anyone…anyone… send them my way pleeeeeeeeeease so I can throw them in this journal and call it done?

Here is another one from the Prima Blog.
I’m posting this one cos it has pics of our 3 gorgeous kiddos. Can’t wait to get home!!!
I’ve talked far too much – will post more when I’m home.
