Vancouver, British Columbia

A city of mountains, forest, sea and sky…. Vancouver is a city in a pretty spectacular location. With mountains close by its not uncommon to spy snow covered peaks in the gaps between city skyscrapers. And then there's the harbour, with stretches of parkland and forest on the foreshore. Its winter colours are green and blue with a ligh…

David Hmmm. Getting further and further behind with both pics. and text. Don't lose momentum now. This is the most wonderful record of your trip which you will enjoy reading in years to come. Consider it as overtime in your new job!!!! Love D&M

David KK - Can you please send me your Tax File Number. BDO Kendalls need it to finish your 2009 return. If you don't have it, do you have any suggestions where I might get it please. We are home in Coolum - so ready to Skype any time you are. Just let us know what works for you timewise and we'll see how we are placed. We are in Brisbane from Saturday until Tuesday and hence can't Skype there. Another great set of writings. I agree with Sophie (below). Love D&M

Sophie Amazing posts! It's not too often that I read about a sea lion sh*tting his pants... but my, is it funny! You're definitely beating Ross' feedback on his trip - all we've gotten so far is vague descriptions of animals and a lot of dodgey tum / biting ant stories. Keep up the great work - it really is great to live vicariously through you both! Hugs, -Soph

David Every time I read a new post, I say "wow - what a trip". I also keep saying how great KK's writing is. Maybe you should be a writer not an engineer Kate. I just love reading the blog so please don't lose steam on it. It is the most wonderful record of an amazing trip....read jealous Dad / FIL. Couldn't let it pass without noting the nice facial adornment Timbo. And I have an answer to that question I asked you about Kate. Does a change in tyre size on a vehicle vary the speedo reading. The answer is yes and the exact amount of variance can be seen at this great US website....1010tires.com. Stay safe guys. Love David

Mrgie Grandad tried to send a message yesterday but I don't think it went. Must have missed the math poser! I've set up your blog on his favourites & he is going to try & get into it. Here's hoping. I hope I don't get the maths wrong. Ask Tim how good I am at sums!!!!
