Last sleep in Canada for a while

So it is an hour or so before we catch the ferry to vancouver that will lead us to our British Airways flight to Heathrow. This last week has been a flurry of last minute adjustments to our bags....trying to figure out what we need to wear for a week in England and then on to Tanzania. We have moved our furniture and stored the Jetta, cleaned the carpets and managed to have dinner and lunch and coffee with friends to say a 'ciao' and then get on with the last minute details.

We stayed with friends Joe and Anne for the last two nights in Comox and then moved down to the kids house in Nanaimo for another early morning visit by the grandkids and the endless ' lets play a game'. We are going to miss them, they are at that great age where they come up with all sorts of incredible child wisdom.

Yesterday, we went sailing for the day, with little wind and then the dinghy dock for lunch, it was a great way to spend a sunny saturday in the fall. Lunch was huge, so our dinner plans went awry and we ended up having a simple dinner at home....

And so....today, we are catching the morning ferry and then bussing it to the airport for our 6 pm departure and 9 hour flight over the pole to England. Pat and Dave our cousins will be meeing us on Tuesday morning to visit Auntie Beryl  and other cousins, as well we are promised a few pubs in the meantime.....sounds great to us.

We will blog again from London and hopefully post some pix
cheers for now
