A Little More Travel Info

Hey there everyone. A couple of peeps out there have been asking me about my brief comment on the upcoming cruise I mentioned. Didn't realize I was being so uninformative. Usually I think I'm being too "talkative". :)

Anyway, Mom and I are going on a 15-Day Hawaiian cruise (round-trip from LA). We're joining some other Mothers & Daughters from my family. Nan (my grand-mother), my Auntie Sheila, my cousin Carla. We're extending our family to include Cory and Jean as well. Between the 7 of us, we have 3 rooms, 2 balconies and 1 table for dinner. 27 days until embarkation. Email me if you want us to send you a post-card. Tick-tock-tick-tock

About Las Vegas. My cousin Leiana is getting married. Both her and her fiance live in LV. It's not what you think of as a typical Vegas wedding. Going totally traditional. They're getting married on July 7th. Break that down. 7/7/07. Good slot machine numbers eh? I'm looking forward to singing at the wedding ceremony. Leiana and Kevin are going to have a great time I think. We're all very excited for them both!

Back from Kimberley Extend-O-Trip

I made a big oops when I booked my flights to and from Kimberley a few weeks back.

My plan was to go for the weekend and come back on Tuesday. A nice little trip to catch up with my family.

Got to the airport on Tuesday morning, fighting our way out of a big snow-"storm" (at least in my eyes), only to find out from the man at the check-in counter that there was no Webster (or Hunt for that matter - just in case you know) on flights at all that day. He took a look at my print out and sure enough, I was exactly 1 week too early.


Well, the big decision. Stay another week or pay for an earlier flight. Due to the limitations on my ticket, I would have had to buy a whole new ticket to get home any earlier.

My Auntie Sheila and my Nan said "We'd love the company". Great thing about working for myself. I can take off. Richard seemed fine with it. He and Packers would keep each other company.

I couldn't believe how much snow can accumulate in such a short period of time. I was constantly looking out the window and taking pictures with our new Digital camera. Richard surprised me with it for my b'day.

Above, you'll see Nan leaving her house that is surrounded by 3-4 foot snowbanks. We were headed for Cranbrook. Only 40 mins away but no snow at all. Goes to show the altitude of Kimberley.

You know how the day after it rains, the air seems clearer. No smog and colour is just brighter? Well, this is what I saw just everywhere with the snow up there. Just gorgeous.
