Left Ft. St.John in the rain after a delightful stay at the Super 8. Had to pry Deb out of the spa robe and the huge kingsize bed.. I discovered it was not the Gerbings jacket but rather the controller so replaced with my controller. 5 km from our hotel road construction reared its ugly head AGAIN. It lasted for 30 km with grooved payment to go with the rain. Stopped in Dawson Creek for the mandatory picture of Mile 0 of the Alcan.And another stop at WalMart to purchase a pair of bib rainsuit pants as my Aerostitch decided to leak at the crotch. ( something about continuous downpour) All along the road the water was swift and close to pavement. Approaching the BC/Alberta border we were flagged down as water was across the roadway. ... read more

I was so nervous about going on this trip.....it was for so long (over a month), and so far away from everyone......I had tears leaving home!! Now, the coming home part.....I thought leaving Canada was hard!! Coming back is even harder! The time flew by and I can’t believe I am back at work already! There is sooo much more to this world and I have just seen a smidge. I really enjoyed my time, a week in each place really is a perfect amount of time to get an impression.

Okay so I've actually been home for a month now or something like that. The flights all went well and my little bro picked me up and he was on time!!! This is mostly for the friends I made traveling, you can put some of it together now. Now the excitment of being home lasted about 3 days I think. I knew it would be like that but what do ya do? It was a big suprise for pretty much all my family. My mom and Dean were sooo happy and that made it all worth it for me. My mom dropped like 20 some pounds and now fits in all my clothes. It's cool because it works both ways and she's a pretty stylish lady these days. This year Canada has had more snow in ... read more

There are only 18 more days remaining before our flight to Germany, and so much to do here before we leave. One special piece of office furniture to build, must be completed before June 30th. Packing our stuff for Germany, I will probably wait until the last minute, I have been watching World Master Football 2006 on TV, good thing Hockey is over! Of course my Team Mexico just bowed out! This deflates my interest a little. I have no other favorites, ... read more
