Back in the Loops

Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
A very big trip...lucky to have got the exit row seats as there way a heap more room and easy getting up & down, not much sleep though. Arrived in LA @ 7am then had a 7 hour lay over...Collected baggage & had to recheck it then managed to leave my travel documents in the Baggage trolly !!! Thankfully realised when I got upstairs and went racing back down in the lift and found them still in the trolly !! So nearly didnt make it to Canada...The flight to Vancouver left at 1445hrs and arrived @ 1715 hrs, thankfully slept most of the way.
Wonderful arriving and the sun was blazing and the snow capped mountains, just beautiful and felt a lot like coming home. Lynn & Katie met me and we took the shuttle to the Travel Lodge Express in Richmond where we spent the night. Had a Korean BBQ for dinner (that was a first) enjoyed it immensly, Katie stayed back at the room as she had just come home from Cambodia and eating any Asian food wasnt quite what she wanted :). We did a lot of yakking and shared a bottle of Red wine and then had a good sleep.
Thursday 5th we did a quick trip to the Richmond Mall and had a bit of a shop..Tommy Hilfigger shop was my favorite as usual wonderful to see all the different shops from home.
Departed Vancouver at midday stopping just near Chilliwack for a Soup & Sandwich & hot chocolate @ Tim Hortens (cost $6.40) WOW.. we need one of these at home. Got into Kamloops at 1600hrs. Staying with Penny & she had invited the girls around for dinner and drinks.. Fabulous night and all the girls are looking great, more wine consumption so I guess the diet will be on hold a while.
Now in bed and its 0130 and I am wide awake..I am guessing this is the jetlag catching up with me. Need to get some sleep so I can face the Downward facing dog @ Yoga with Penny in the morning !!
