Less than a week after returning from my Camino de Santiago pilgrimage (see Camino de Santiago - Galicia - Camino Angels) I was off again, this time with Linda.

Home and Away

I started blogging on Travelblog in 2009, entering trips beginning in 2007. My intention has always been to document my years of travel since my birth...how else was I to save all the slides my Dad took of my childhood! Most bloggers write about their trips away from home. Mine, and eventually Linda's, homes have usually been where people travel to. So the idea eventually percolated to name our blog "Home and Away."

What a great visit!
You guys really packed in a lot of fun and yummy adventures in that beautiful Northwest, and how great that the weather cooperated a bit!

I also have friends who volunteer with Trusted Housesitters and organizations like that--just a thought. Happy enjoying your home for awhile!

Good to see you in my neighbourhood!
Well, not quite...I'm on the other side of the Rockies in Calgary. But, thank you for visiting Vancouver. Lovely place and I am proud of. ! Yes, Stanley Park is my favourite. You have skipped my another favourite - Whistler. Perhaps, the next time, Bob!

Oh Canada + Seattle
Vancouver is one of our favorites. WE lived in the Seattle area for 7 years so it was great reading for us....great memories.
