Hi guys We tried to upload some photos from our lake louise day trip yesterday and the computer stuffed up twice and we were tired and about to dissolve into tears, hence only a few pics. Don't let that fool you that photos were not taken - we have 188 from today alone. We will have another go at uploading them, but probably not tonight - Amanda is not emotionally ready to face the process yet. A few things of note about Banff - it stays light h...

On the island the weather was all over the place - h...

Hi guys *NB - there are no photos from san fran so have chosen ramdon US ones until we can upload some photos. Well we made it here safe and sound. We were midly alarmed when we realised that we were sitting next to an eight month old baby on the flight but it was soooo good and only cried once - for ten seconds. Amanda learned that all about not being able to sleep on long haul flights - despite the fact that the seat next to us was free (and we claimed...
