Nous sommes le 7 avril 2005, presque un an et demi après mon retour de l’Inde. Je viens tout juste de terminer de taper mon journal. Ça a pris beaucoup de temps, beaucoup plus que je ne l’aurais cru. Je voulais faire ma conclusion de mon voyage de retour à Montréal…je la fais maintenant. Parce qu’en revenant j’ai tellement expliqué mille fois mon voyage et les photos que j’ai prises que je me suis vraiment écœurée, j’ai voulu prendre un gros break de l’Inde, parce que ça avait été éprouvant, autant dans les malheurs que les bonheurs.

En relisant mon journal, je me suis aperçue que je ... read more

We dont have to lug our 20 pound nebulizer up 300 steps to ... read more

I'm posting this as we finish our family holiday in Whistler. If your kids like skiing in 10 days of constant snow (up the mountain) or rain (at the lower levels) and you enjoy skiing in near zero visibility (either caused by blizzard conditions or, more likely by fog) then Whistler is for you. OK we had great snow, 60 to 80 cms must have fallen in the 10 days we have been here but what's the use of it when you can't see the terrain. We got about 4 hours of hazy sun in the whole ten days, visibility was often down to 15 to 20 feet which is no fun. If you do choose Whistler (and I recommend you have a look elsewhere before you book) then make sure you bring goggles and a ... read more
