This a a posting to get everyone on board about our latest travel plans. We will be departing for the Yucatan peninsula on September 27. First we will head strait to Merida and then to the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza. Around the Equinox the pyramid at the ruins gets hit just right with the light and looks like a serpent going up the corner of the pyramid or something along those lines. I haven't read about it lately so correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, we should be there by the 30th to celebrate my 30th birthday with the ancients as it were. Beyond that we will begin an extended journey for which we have no set itinerary. We are going to visit Natalie's uncle in Cancun for a short while and then continue ... read more

Vceraj sem torej odkljukala se eno od zadev na to-do seznamu: obisk Celebrities. Moj entourage je bil sestavljen iz 4 gej azijskih Kanadcanov in ene straight azijske Kanadcanke - awesome. Z Vietom sva sla najprej k njemu domov, potem pa na skytrain v DT, pa na hitro na bus do Davie street. Celebrities, kot Odyssej, je zakon: sami dobri tipi, po moznosti brez majic, noben ne tezi, vsake toliko casa pride mimo kaksna drag queen, predvsem pa je veliko straight ljudi, ki pridejo tja samo plesati in to je to. Zur brez tezenja. Awesome. Okoli pol dveh me je Viet pospremil na postajo za N17. Ujagala sem ta nocni bus do UBC in bila je to helluva experience. (Ob tej priloznosti naj omenim, da je Translink v tem letu in pol mocno posodobil svoj vozni park ... read more

A very expensive trip but have eventually achieved one of my 'thing to do before I.....' My YMCA hostel near Central Park costs me $100 per day with about 40rooms sharing 3 toilets and showers at one floor. Me being the last person to take shower at midnight will have to make sure that I didn't take any deep or heavy breath until I've finished my shower (felt like in a Chinese vampire movie). Some highlights of my trip: 1. The Statue of Liberty - long queue, crowded ferry, sunburnt but how can one misses her when visiting the Big Apple. 2. Watched two Broadway shows - Mama Mia and Stomp - expensive tickets but satisfied! 3. Time Square - almost been there everyday, what a typical tourist. 4. West /East Villages - nice place to ... read more

Dimanche 16/09, on fait le tour d'Atlanta pour voir à quoi ressemble cette ville. On y circule assez facilement. La police est présente à tous les coins de rue (on a d'ailleurs réussi à se faire remarquer et à devoir prononcer une quizaine de "sorry" m'sieu l'agent). Voici quelques photos prises en roulant et d'autres prises lors de nos arrêts dans des parcs. D'autres suivront bien sûr.... read more

I am still preparing to get ready for my big trip to Africa. I think that I am getting use to the fact that it's accually happening. Befor it didn't even seem real that I was leaving and now I think I'm ready for it. Of course I'll miss all of my friends, but I think I'm ready to go now. I still have to pack I've been putting that off so I think it's time to do that. I'm more excited and use to the fact that I'm leaving. ... read more
