Hope to hear more about your travels sometime.

Lost...Wow, what a warm welcome back - thank ye all! Lost luggage turned up this morning and was delivered to our doorstep - phew! We've actually been v lucky, in 15 years of travelling around the world we hadn't lost a single thing, so I guess it's the exception that proves the rule.<BR/><BR/>I'm completely energised, Gaye, (apart from a long sleep after being up for 32 hours on return journey) but I wouldn't say no to another trip!<BR/><BR/>Yes, lack of veggie food surprised us too, Medbh. We tried what appeared to be a promising Italian cafe in Vancouver but it was dire - the worst plate of pasta we have ever been fed, straight out of a tin probably.<BR/><BR/>Am off to London again on Monday for a work thing and visit to my mother, with crippling Underground strikes on the cards. Sounds like getting across Stab City may be trickier than getting to Vancouver....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-89559901490436198702007-09-01T15:38:00.000+01:002007-09-01T15:38:00.000+01:00good luck on suitcase hell.good luck on suitcase hell.Flirty Somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18327184509029301288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-48090256281731638412007-09-01T15:30:00.000+01:002007-09-01T15:30:00.000+01:00Sounds like a good trip.

My experience is that Canada is full of Anglophiles and yes, do they generally have an antagonism towards the U.S. (I don't blame them especially when shrub was just here claiming the Artic).Megan McGurkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673489472490377198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-16826566954372577742007-09-01T15:12:00.000+01:002007-09-01T15:12:00.000+01:00hey welcome back! sounds like a wonderful trip, lo...hey welcome back! sounds like a wonderful trip, love the photo on your entry.

Thanks for sharing the pros and cons as you observed. I never made it to the British Columbia while I was living in Canada as student exchange, but heard great things about Vancouver and surrounding areas.

But you just have to come back and do the Maritimes for the drop-dead beauty and warmth of the people. I agree with you on the populace of BC - quite chilly. But in my mind the beauty of the East has them beaten in that department too.....Wisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.com
