We planned on staying in Canada for 5 weeks and it turned into 17.

This was due to some extenuating circumstances and we decided to make the best of them.

Here is what we did for those extra few months.

Liam managed and served at earls restaurant www.earls.ca
Katharine helped out with the Plan Advocacy Network www.plan.ca
We both helped out Marilyn at Cuisine and Company www.cuisineandcompany.ca

These were great experiences and kept us really busy. Besides being enjoyable they were also able to help maintain our budget and we ended up leaving with a little more money in our pocket then when we started.

We also spent a lot of time:

Meeting Liam’s family and friends (a real pleasure for Liam as he has only been home for 4 months in the last 2 years)
Playing at Crescent and White Rock beaches
Exploring Vancouver
House sitting a beautiful ocean view house for Jan and Warren
Working with a builder to add an additional suite to Liam’s Mom’s house
Sightseeing in Whistler
Visiting the Okanogan
Staying with family on Vancouver Island
Buying a house in Kamloops (Lot 44, plan B - The Adams) www.gceliving.com

Then Katharine’s Sister, Brother in law and Nephew came to Vancouver for about a week. It was wonderful spending time with them especially for Katharine as she had been spending a lot of time with Liam’s friends and family.

We are definitely ready to go!!!
