Hello again everyone. We must apologise as this stupid website wont accept our videos so we cant load them :( So you will all have to wait till we get home to see the hilarious stacks (me) and awesome jumps (jordan). Not too much has happened up here. Most days consist of skiing, hot chocolate, and relaxing in front of tv.

For those that aren't aware of my current surroundings, I have found a job, car and place to live in Kelowna, British Columbia. I'm working at a long-term care facility as an O.T, where my responsibilities are, but not limited to, making those at the end phase of their life more comfortable, independent and (hopefully) happy.

hey everybody..... tried to set up this travel blog thing before we left but never got around to it so now im gonna try to catch up!!! i'll try to be brief... we left for vancouver friday october 27th 2006. leaving was really sad and probably one of the hardest things ive ever had to do!! we caught a 13 hr flight to san francisco, where we thought we lost our luggage. we waited around for awhile, still with no sleep. our flight to vancouver was on alaskan airlines, tone didnt like it coz it was a small plane, like jetstar, but he pretty much slept the whole way anyway. we got to vancouver airport and caught a taxi to our hostel, the driver was crazy though he wouldnt slow down!! he did tell us a ... read more
