New adventures require a new blog (n'est-ce-pas?) Yes, we still remember some of the français we perfected during our Séjour in Europe last summer. This summer however, has not been quite as exciting. The longest 8 months of life (i.e. Teacher's College - if you've been, you know what I mean) came to an end Easter weekend and the interim has been spent working 2 jobs, catching up with friends, enjoying the lakehouse and trying to figure out where to go from here. Still don't have that one figured out yet... so then my friend (who, for the sake of this blog shall be referred to as 'R Friend') buzzes me one night and says 'I feel like going to Whistler'. And thus it began.
Sometimes the best trips are those booked in the spirit of the moment. One thing I learned from my travels in the EU is that planning is overrated - just go with it! With that in mind, R Friend and I plopped ourselves on her very comfy couch (good thing because we would be there for the next 3 hours) and started looking for flights and hotels. GOOD TIMES!!! One thing I know for sure is that I never want to be a travel agent. Nevertheless we successfully booked our flights and stay and after the happy dance ceased we slept like rocks! Fast forward 3-4weeks and MooReece, Snaily (you will meet him shortly), R Friend and I are now 2 days away from leaving this hole in the ground to go play in the mountains :)
On the agenda thus far: whitewater rafting, ziplining, gondola-ing, glacier hiking, mountain biking, mountain hiking, exploring, Olympic villag-ing, spa-ing and anything else we can cram into 6 days. We have come to the realization that anything ending in 'ing' has to be AWESOME and we want a piece of that action! I have never been to Whistler (or the West Coast) so to say I am a little jacked is an understatement. I am vibrating with excitement - not to mention I really need a VACA out of the city for a while. Moo and I are travelers, you can't keep us cooped up in one place too long or we start to go wonky. This trip is exactly what the doctor ordered (and considering in 4 short years R Friend will be a doctor, I guess the saying is quite fitting).
Time to pack. Oh how I loathe packing. I still have so much to do before leaving, including releasing PUMP 78. Going to be a busy few days...
