Comment Published at 20:2020:2035 comments35 comments69 Visits69 VisitsReport

Yippeeeeee, just 7 days to go, TODAY !

The next leg of our trip=  We leave Hawaii on the 2nd of May & change planes at Seattle Tacoma & arriving in Victoria ( We are on Canadian soil, hooray !!!!!!, getting closer!) early on the 3rd of May. We are staying at the Royal Scot Hotel.

front of Royal Scot

Where we spend a day & a half exploring Victoria......then before boarding the ferry for the mainland of Vancouver, we get tp gaze on flora in all her glory....in the famous serene 50 acre country estate "Butchart Gardens"pic01.jpg

Who needs to take camera's, with photo's like this, not excited, NOT ME !!!!!

Stay in tune for the next segment of "The days of our dreary  lives" haha!!!  Oh to dream & have a 40 year old dream come true.

    On a sad note, my dear son fly out of Sydney yesterday and today it has hit home that it will be a long time before i see him again.  

Love you all.....Janice & Steve xxxxx

Oh wow time is flying now. Oh the excitement in your home must be so strong. I bet the packing and sorting has started and the "do I take" and "will I need". No,No, you need the camera so we can see your joy, while taking in all that beauty and that hug from Marg. Sending you good vibes and best wishes.

I hope Jamie's adventure will be just as exciting and the time will come when you will be reunited is not as long as you fear.

Luv,Winnie.xxxx

Re: Just one week- 7 days- today !

Oh Janice,Your son is off to a new adventure and I'm sure he is taking you and Steve with him in his heart. Won't be too long and you'll hear all the good news! I know how you feel but you have a tight bond there and all these airmiles you will have might be a ticket to Britain!

Those gardens do look like that! The Victoria gardens are amazing too! Hawaii looks fantastic!!! The bunny has eaten everything down to the ground here!! I might have to put up photos!!! The flight into Seattle is crazy! It is banked by beautiful mountains,you'll love it! I bet I am more excited than you!!! haaaahaaa,care to bet????? Hugs awaiting!!! More hugs! and more...can hardly wait!

You will be greatly missed while you are away - have a fabulous time!
