Here we are!

And so the journey begins. We have arrived in Vancouver and are safe and sound in a random little backpackers in Metrotown. All has gone pretty well thus far today, seemed to be on track at Heathrow and then probably got a bit cocky and thought that we had the time to hang out having coffee for a bit, next thing we are hearing our names over the speaker as our gate is about to close.

Still....we made it, and Sam has kept up his tradition of always having to hear his name called before boarding a plane, so all is well. Just getting used to the fact that it is 7pm here and that my body still thinks that it is 3am, but sure that I will be fine after a long sleep.

In true fashion of 'no rest for the wicked' we are up at 7am tomorrow to go and get a bus to Penticton for the CECD conference. I am really pleased that I jump straight into the learning tomorrow and can't wait to shift into that mind set.

Think I am going to head out to an already recommended sushi bar now. (feels somewhat luxurious to be off to eat sushi at what should be 3am!!! Living the high life!)

Love and light to all.

Getting Ready to leave!

It's just 19 days now until I leave for my research trip to Canada and South Africa. The last few months have been busy with contacting organisations that I will be visiting and working with whilst I am away. I now have an almost complete itinery, which fortunatly leaves plentty of space for new contacts and adventures to arise.

Now all I need to do is have a few jabs (eek) and pack my bag before I head off!
Looking forward to updating soon and starting to get a few of you following what I am up to!
