Planning, planning and more planning

Well, now it is Monday 10th May 2010 and Mr Brown has decided to step down... I am a poet and ... yep, you've guessed it... there is going to be lots of this on here from ME.

So, the planning keeps going, interspersed with some spending, well actually, quite a lot of spending so I am glad that the money market is finally taking a grip or else I would be taking a grip of someone's purse and it might not be mine.

It is so exciting planning, but I like the books and magazines as well as this magical internet thing we have here. Nothing like turning the page is there? Slow, but sure. But then a bit of variety never harmed anyone... a page here, a blog there, a text here, a photo there, an itune here there and everywhere... a cue for a tune?

So far so good, we've booked flights, accommodation in Vancouver, Vancouver Island - Victoria, Tofino, Port Hardy, a cruise (sort of) to Prince Rupert, accommodation in Prince Rupert and then tiredness took over and the need to check other parts of my life took over... more of that later.

The cold weather has returned to day and snow has been forecast on the scottish hills, so what with volcanic ash, rain, snow and low temperatures anyone would think we were in England in May - how ridiculous would that be?

The big day is on its way!

Well, it's Sunday 9th May 2010 and soon I will be venturing forth into the unknown with my chum Heather. We leave UK at the end of July and return end of August with stops in British Columbia for the first leg of my big trip. I've had some little trips this year and in previous years but this is an adventure I have fancied since I was 20. I had a thousand pounds way back then which I decided to use on a deposit for a house instead of a trip to Canada - was I wrong? Well, maybe not because now I have a house (all paid for) and a trip to Canada on the horizons. Life can't get much better really.
