    The flight in a small plane sounds hideious!!!! Reminds me of Flights in Indian Airline planes. One flight from Kathmandu to Pokora…. You could see thr’ the craks in the fusekage and the rattle and shakes. Very scary stuff.Megsx

    It is emerging that you are on a fast foods exploration tour punctuated with occasional sightseeing!Kathryn,it is just as well you are now beyond the teen-age acne danger zone!No doubt you’ll all be looking for a Jenny Craig’s on the cruise ship.Having said that it all sounds quite wonderful and has dispelled our preconception that Canada would be a boring place….like New Zealand only bigger and colder!Keep the pix and commentary rolling in.For us,it is almost like being there.Only the smells are missing.Happy festive season and affectionate thoughts from GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

    Kat so many adventures.LOved all the new pics of the Falls and the New York ones. CP looked very empty. I always imagined it as a busy place most of the time. I understand it is winter……….But! No swaggies sleeping out. I wonder where they go in Winter? I think you guys did very well holding on for 8/9 hours. I would have wet myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Crystal Ball does not seem to drop very far!!!! I read too that the CB is kept in Macys during the year,is that so???????Made by Waterford in 1907??????You may visit there one day,it is an amazing place.
    So many ?’s to ask you,they will have to wait until I see you. I want to hear lots more about your travels. I note that it has been the best Dec ever.great!
    Enjoy the road trip now. Love Megz x
