I'm going on holidays!

Tomorrow morning I'm going away for a week and a half. Beautiful British Columbia, home of most of my relatives and kinfolk. I can't wait!

I'll be driving to Blackfalds in my truck and stopping at my dad's place. Him and I and his girlfriend are taking their car after a quick pit-stop, then we're on our way!

I haven't been to B.C. since I was in Ventures when I was 17. I used to go a lot as a kid with one side of my family. There's no other place in Canada like it.

We have desert, tropical forest, mountains, beach, wetlands, boreal forest, tundra, foothills, and flat-land. The best part of it is that all of these features are reachable in just a mere hour or two of driving.

I love the smell of forest fires. It reminds me of my trips to B.C. when I was younger, and all the Scouting camps I've gone to. B.C. is famous for it's fires every spring until fall.

I know we won't be going as far west as I'd like. I'd love to stand in the ocean again. But we will be visiting people in Revelstoke, Kelowna, and Lake Okanagan. I was born in Enderby, B.C., and I'd like to visit there one day as well. I'm told it's in a valley ringed with forest. Maybe one day I'll see for myself.

My dad Mike and his girlfriend Maryanne will be staying with relatives in one town, and when we visit other folk of ours, we'll have to rent a motel room or something.

Anyways, I won't be able to blog for over a week, so I just might go crazy out there!

P.S. I can edit page colours now on this site, but I still can't figure out how to insert a background image. The more I mess around, the more I'll learn. I REALLY hate this sites video link bar. I do a search and find one video I want to keep, and it posts four results of my search on my blog. I look up Dracula, and I get clips from Bram Stoker, Interview with a Vampire, Dracula 2000, and some cartoon vampire thing. If all I want is one video, why am I getting all four DIFFERENT videos? Grrr... Stupid add-ons.
