I moved into my Condo in Yaletown Vancouver on November 1st. I spent some time learning downtown Vancouver and then had to fly out to Malaysia on November 11th (11,11,11) as I had a week long contract with Taylors to work on the October ONSIS submission. I also used the evening to pack up all the belonging in my apartment (4 large suitcases) and then I flew to Bangkok where I will spend the next 4 weeks working with the American School of Bangkok, training teachers in the use of technology with their students.

I the fly back to Malaysia on December 16th, pick up 2 suitcases, close out the apartment (store 2 suitcases in Taylors) and then fly back to Vancouver. I will then fly to Ottawa to spend Christmas with my Mom, my 2 sisters, and possibly Jordan. Jaime will be in Sweden with Shelley.

So I continue to travel the world and my butt complains from time to time, but for the most part I am happy and I enjoy life.

TTYL,

Jim

Cathedral Grove and Vancouver

I was up and out of Victoria early on on Hallowe'en. I traveled up the eastern cloast of Vancouver Island to Nanaimo and Parksville, and both those towns had grown up. I did travel a bit down the Port Alberni hwy to Cathedral Grove where some 800 year old trees still survive inall their splendor, some reaching almost the length of a football field.

I spent the night in Nanaimo and was up early the next morning to catch the ferry from Departure Bay in Nanaimo to Horshoe Bay in Vancouver. I then picked up the keys to my condo for the next 4 months and I am in the process of unpacking.

TTYL,

Jim
