Go on one of the sea planes for a flight over the lake - never did it, but wish that I had.

Go on a Winery tour - Mission Creek is supposed to be nice.

Amy - Winery would be good thanks, not sure about the flying though - I'm not so good in a plane these days, wierd given I used to fly in the air cadets.

Butch - I've been away a while, is Rich selling up ?

In Kelowna, there is an Irish Theme Bar, they have good bands at night, there is one weight challenged guy who is amazing!

I'll take that as a buying signal: http://ranchesonly.com/listing.php?Listing_ID=145

Cash or cheque, I don't mind.

A day here's not much time to do a whole lot. If you want to be active there's plenty of choices. Here's a good place to start: http://www.kamloops.ca/parks/index.shtml

To quote many canadians, It was AWESOME, he did an amazing Meatloaf(the band!), if you closed your eyes you honestly would have believed he was the real thing, it takes a lot to impress me believe me and his Aerosmith was outstanding:thumbsup:

Very nice place, although a bit out of my reach, I'd need a major fluctuation in exchange rates! :rofl: Also my knowledge of horses is that last time on one; I fell off! :o

Cheers for the link, after many hours in the car, getting out for a wander is definitely on the cards.

Mission Hill? Certainly worth a visit. It is architecturally interesting *, makes good wine, and has gorgeous views over the lake.
