Just for a change - a summer expedition

Since there are a number of places that we would like to visit which are not warm enough in January and February, we thought we would try something different this year and are just about to head off to Canada for a few weeks - mostly in BC and Alberta with a stop off on the way home to see the CC&Coke drinking banker cousin - who tells me he no longer drives a BMW - probably upgraded to something more in keeping with his executive position!

We are flying from Shannon - via Heathrow - to Vancouver with BA on  Airbus 380 - have flown once before en route to Joburg last year and remember it was very comfortable so looking to a glass or two of fizz, a couple of movies and perhaps a few hours kip.
We arrive in Vancouver on Wednesday evening so time to get changed and check out the night life - or perhaps grab a burger and crash - lets see how we feel when we get there.
Sitting at Shannon with the obligatory glass of the black stuff - we are on holiday after all! Already thought of two things we forgot but thankfully nothing of any importance. Watch this space.
