....and the best laid plans.....they may need to change. So, change them we did. We (Tami and I) were scheduled to fly out of Penticton tomorrow night to connect with our flight from Vancouver to Taipei but....the fog that hung in the valley and over the lake didn’t look like we’d be flying anywhere soon! Instead we decided to drive to Abbotsford this afternoon where we’d spend the night with Tami’s family (Glady and Tim) who have been wonderful hosts. The highways were clear the entire trip and long before we hit Hope we were into full sunshine! It was a glorious drive and the Fraser Valley was giving us a glimpse of her finest. What a great way to say goodbye to BC!
Tomorrow we’ll make the rest of the trip into Vancouver. Glady will drop us off at the airport and keep Tami’s car until our return in March. We will meet Barb at our departure gate and the three of us will be off on our adventures. Barb and I will say good bye to Tami in Taipei as she’s got a 3 week tour of Vietnam and Cambodia booked after which she’ll catch up to us in Bali. Barb and I aren’t wasting any time with side trips....we’re booking it for Ubud where we both have a date with a massage table! :-). In fact, I suspect there will be a few massage tables in our near future.
Barb and I will both be in Ubud for 2 months and during that time another friend, Moira, will join us for a 3 week visit and on Feb 7th Tami will have finished her SEA tour and made her way to our little oasis too.
Got to take a minute to send a shout out to Lynda, my usual travel buddy here....you’ll be missed and I promise I will be sure to enjoy all of your massages etc for you too. :-).
I wasn’t going to blog this trip but now that I’m on the road I’ve decided that I will. There might not be a lot of travelling around this time but I’m sure there will be adventures needing to be captured none the less. So as I head to the land of active volcanoes and a culture so rich you can taste it in the air I’ll sign off for this final night in Canada for a while. (yes....Mt Agung is still spitting smoke and ash)
Till next time,
Lorrie
Good choice to have left by car....so foggy this morning I can't see the IGA parking lot. I can feel the massages already......take care, safe trip to Denpensar. L
ReplyDeleteTuesday, Jan 16th. Snowed this morning, turned to freezing rain then warmed up to that slushy, wet stuff before I got to the office. Crazy weather. They moved that huge pile of snow from the street today 😊. Looking forward to your next post in a few days......enjoy settling in and especially that 4 hour spa treatment ☺
