Dear Diary, Today I married Ann L., the most wonderful, amazing, fantastic, incredible, uncanny and mightiest woman in the world. Here are some of the early photos from our wedding day photo shoot and from friends. I'll update when the professional photos arrive. The boys started the morning at our house in Burnaby and then proceeded to Ann's sister’s house in Vancouver. We had to demonstrate my worthiness by performing balancing acts, eating strange food, singing and bribing the guardians of the house to be allowed to pick up my bride. We had a giant pizza lunch supplied as one of our wedding gift from Ada. We all piled into cars with the photographer and videographer (Alex) and headed around town for wedding photos - Gastown, Coal Harbour and Stanley Park. Keeran lent Ann and I ... read more

So we're in Canada, eh? We arrived late last night (got to our room about midnight!) and took the public train to our hotel on the waterfront. The hotel is literally steps away from the cruise ship dock - in fact the staging area for the cruiselines is in the "basement" of the hotel. We received an email a few days ago telling us not to even try to board until after 2pm, since they have 4 cruise ships boarding from the same area today. Deb got up early and went down to the hotel pool for a swim and a soak in the hot tub. The views are extraordinary! She could actually look down onto the deck of our ship from the pool area. We packed up our luggage and headed over to have breakfast ... read more

I've been away from this site for SO long, and I really think it's time that I got back into it, so here it my first post, of many more! So I think that the most difficult part of traveling, and some may not agree, is deciding where you want to go. I'm sooo indecisive! There are so many places that I'd like to go, and there never seems to be enough time OR money to do all of it. (Maybe that explains why I've been to Europe so many times?) Anyway, I am going back to Europe (Yeap, for the 6th time). And I love Europe. The issue is, that I have enjoyed so many places there that whenever I go I always want to go everywhere i've already been PLUS all the places I ... read more

So the camera situation is all sorted and I've been back to Stanley Park to use it. We're starting to have some great weather over here (as in 6 degrees and sunny) so it's been great to get out see a bit more of the place. Tuesday was still a bit wet but I made a point of getting some stuff sorted, such as my camera and clippers. Buying a new battery charger proved quite difficult because the camera is so old. (about 4 years haha!) A generic charger was going to about $70 before tax. The salesman pointed a Sony camera for only $10 more so I thought it was a no-brainer and bought a brand new camera! As for the clippers, the one i brought from home didn't work because the voltage is different ... read more

Hey everyone!! This edition should be a lot more upbeat than the last one. I've seen/experienced a couple of the more amazing things in the last couple of days. Wednesday was not very exciting. I made no attempt to get up early and even finished season 4 of Californication that I started the night before. I ventured up to the most expensive supermarket I've ever seen in my life. It was called Buy-Low and was even recommended by reception at the hostel as a cheap place to go so it was very disappointing. Especially as I came back looking like a drowned rat. I've now learnt that the larger drugs stores are the best place for groceries (except fruit and bread). The rain did end up going away and I went and got my SIN, which ... read more
