OK, so I'm now totally convinced that it's not possible to go to Whistler and NOT have a good time. I arrived late on Friday arvo, having happily dozed pretty much the entire bus ride, and I high tailed it over to Can Ski in Creekside to pick up my boots. I stopped by Peak View to unload a bit of my stuff then headed into the village to meet the boys and take Kim over to my place with his snowboard (they were squeezing slightly more people into a one bedroom apar...

How I'm going to get through the awesomeness of the past few days (which has come in truly epic proportions) I really don't know…but here goes! Last time we left off I was about to lose my James Bond innocence - we trekked all the way down town (like…an hour and a half, no joke, it's amazing how far one will travel for a $2 movie ticket - I paid more for my bus fare!

Sushi lovers of the world - come to Vancouver!! It was Jessie's birthday yesterd...

Oo I'm a bad, lazy little blogger! Apologies for complete lack of updates in the past few weeks…oh where to begin now…Halloween! Last Friday was Halloween, and apparently, all over North America, that's a pretty big deal. I've never seen anything like it. The lead up to it was a little like the retail frenzy that happens at home before Christmas.
