OH NO, IT`S ALMOST OVER

To those of you I keep annoying for not updating their blogs, particularly when on holiday, an apology is in order.

We are now at the tail end of the Canadian portion of the trip. Weather had been particularly good for this time of year, averaging 25 degrees every day. Did pretty much everything we intended to, eat and drank most of the items on the list (poutine, smoked meat, Blanche de Chambly, Harvey's, Ice wine, etc) and caught up with many friends, some we had not seen for up to 20 years. Some sailing, golfing, camping and a couple of silly nights spiced things up.

The boys have been absolute troopers despite all the long flights, trains, cars and bus rides. They apparently have it in their blood.

Back to the French Riviera in a couple of days, then Hong Kong, then home. Mixed feelings about that.

Should have some cool pics to add to this blog very shortly. Now update yours before I get on your case again.

WE'RE OFF!

That's it. Everything sorted. Four months in the making. Off in 12 hours. First stop Switzerland (via Hong Kong). Zurich, Basel and Geneva... the first day! Sounds like Japanese tourism, doesn't it?

Can't wait. Hopefully the boys will enjoy the 26 hour ride as much as we will...
