Well I arrived safely in Vancouver and am now sitting listening to my uncle tell us about the bears up where we will be staying.

Apparently we are going into the middle of nowhere tomorrow...there are bears, cougars, the only town internet site is down..and there isn't even mobile phone coverage. (I didn't actually think places like that existed outside of horror movies).

The house is built on an old indian burial site..so I expect my kids will be sucked into another dimension and the house will be sucked into the swimming pool. Again...this thought is not nearly so scary as no internet of cell phone coverage.

They even had a bomb scare down in Victoria on the ferries the other day, eh?

Good to see you arrived safe. I enjoy Vancouver, it is very similar to San Francisco. If you have a chance, go across to Vancouver Island and visit Butchard Gardens and have a Nanaimo bar.

Don't worry, Es. The bears don't get REALLY hungry for about a month or so. 8^D

DONATE TO SETI

Okay, as someone who has lived her entire lived in Canada, and the past few years Vancouver, first: Don't Panic!

I hike the North Shore mountains all the time, so trust me: don't be too concerned about bears or cougars.

However, there is a local thing called Sasquatch that you may want to be aware of...

Welcome to the colonies!

Oh, Dog, I forgot to warn you about the Magic Mushrooms...

Seriously, welcome to Canada.

Thirty million of us love the place on a daily basis, you can survive it for a few weeks.

:))

Refer back to this thread. It may help you.
What do you do if you encounter a bear?

Have fun on your trip.

Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope.

Oh! No!...Es99 is on the same continent as me...She hates me and is now close enough to do some damage.

I don't know anything about Canada

except that I was the only one at the controls of 747 when it passed over the La Paz, Canada waypoint on it's way from LHR to LAX.

Perhaps I should get a flying license one day

And now a song called Bears.

Lets start from the basics, can you climb up the steps?

No, I don't need to. They have this tunnel thing that is attached to the 'plane so you can walk right in.

Have internet! Must post! Internet....internet...

Well we saw seals, eagles, deer, snakes, spiders (lots of spiders), hummingbirds, and slugs (black and banana), but no bears. Bear tracks up the driveway..and there was one loitering around the car park where my uncle works the other morning but we missed it. We did see a bear trap out side the government services building where i went to pay my speeding ticket (Canadians drive so goddam slow!! I am normally a law abiding citizen...but trust me to get my first ever speeding ticket in Canada)

So no bears. No phones either..or internet..or TV. Just my uncle's collection of Kwality 80s videos..and although I admit that 'Big Trouble in Little China' is a much underrated movie..there are only so many times one can sit through it and still find those snappy one liners and big hair amusing.

I am at my Aunts now..and she (bless her, bless her) has internet)

oh wait...we are off to the beach now.
