Two hip joints would really send the Airport security into high alert. Friday 20th July, 2012 This is possible my last blog, we"ll see what tomorrow brings. We were out of bed at 6.30 am this morning, really early, so we wer... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718837&go=turiwirioe2012 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718618&go=turiwirioe2012 Thursday 19th July, 2012 Today is another of those slower days, to get over yesterday afternoon and to prepare for tomorrow. A walk to the shopping centre yesterday morning for more breakfast cereal, milk and yogurt, home again for a snack lunch and at 1.00 pm we were at the front of our accommodation waiting for another tour bus. This time around the city of Vancouver, the cruise ship terminal, w... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718618&go=turiwirioe2012 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718337&go=turiwirioe2012 Monday 16th July, 2012 I promised that today would be slow one, it was, we left here at 1.30 pm to walk to the shopping centre, found something else to load the suitcase a little more, what you give one, you give to all. We picked up some takeaway dinner and walked back through the track we have taken other times. We did talk to a man who appeared behind us, he explained that he was on his own the... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718337&go=turiwirioe2012 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718124&go=turiwirioe2012 Monday 16th July, 2012 I warned you all, that there probably wouldn"t be a Blog for Sunday. How right I was . It was a very long day, but most enjoyable, once we had all our passengers on board the bus. Our first little excursion was through one of Vancouver"s wonderful park/gardens, Stanlely Park, on the way to the city, as part of the road was blocked with road works, with only Bruce a... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718124&go=turiwirioe2012 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717793&go=turiwirioe2012 Friday 13th July, 2012 Today was a well earned rest for all except Rob who had to go to work again. It was extremely hot, around the 30 degrees and very close. BJ had a Naturopath appointment, so while she was away, we caught up with emails and managed to skype Rochelle for an update. Paul and Anna were also on line so saw Jenna again, BJ would look after her at the drop of a hat, she is a Nanny i... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717793&go=turiwirioe2012 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717634&go=turiwirioe2012 Tuesday PM: We have been on a cooks tour of the City of Castlegar and surrounding area, with Rob and Irene, a neatly kept area connected to the Doukhobor ancestors, of which Irene is one, Hydro power station, upstream from here, the ferry, that runs "on demand" across the Kootney river to the isolated township of Glade - there is no other access for these people, timber mill, pulp mill,... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717634&go=turiwirioe2012 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717046&go=turiwirioe2012 Tuesday the 10th July, 2012 Well, didn"t have time to write up a diary yesterday, so now I have to remember back at least forty eight hours. The kids had a wonderful day in the water, two little girls and two little boys played happily together, in and out of the water, hardly stopping for a break and very few cross words. Not so sure the bodies would have been quite so agile yesterday mornin... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717046&go=turiwirioe2012 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2716658&go=turiwirioe2012 Sunday 8th July, 2012 A little sluggish, but not as bad as Trevor and Dianne, they didn"t get home until 3.00 am, they saw the complete show and then went to a bar, but struggled to find a taxi to get home, and the Baby Sitter left early to the kids have been in / on their bed since 6.30 am. Yesterday, Saturday, was a laid back morning. At 1.00 pm we all piled into Dianne"s car and set o... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2716658&go=turiwirioe2012 Sun, 8 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2716503&go=turiwirioe2012 Friday 6th July, 2012 After lots of walking, and asking several different people, we found the Calgary Botanic Gardens, nothing like what we were looking for as it was on the top story of a large shopping mall, but they were quite impressive, with lots of Bromeliads, palms, peace lilies and groundcovers. There was even some of that lovely (not) Ivy, just small plants at present, but they will soon... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2716503&go=turiwirioe2012 Sat, 7 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2716152&go=turiwirioe2012 Wednesday 4th July, 2012 Yesterday afternoon was quite restful. We went shopping in the main street, there were probably twenty shops, with the same merchandise, you could easily check prices on all the different items you thought you might buy. Trouble is, we have already purchased an extra two suitcases and they are almost bursting at the seams, there are so many things for kids, lots of things ... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2716152&go=turiwirioe2012 Thu, 5 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT
