Since moving here we have spent most summers around Lake Okanagan....However, we decided that the kiddies could deal with extra car time this yr and so we are going to Galiano Island (Gulf Islands)...Can't wait 'cos I haven't seen the sea in waaaay too long!! The house rental was also a lot cheaper than Naramata - where we usually go...

We also try to get down to California at some point during the winter just so we remember what a warm day feels like!!

We'll take your word for it. No need for photographic evidence. Please.

It'd be far too much trouble to provide said evidence. All I have are grainy black & white prints. Yes, it was that long ago.

Holidays? What holidays? My husbands gets 2 weeks paid per year, and I am self employed so when we take any time off work, I am income-less. We honeymooned in Ottawa, we have done day trips to Niagara Falls, St Jacobs and various nature/beauty spots around Ontario, we plan a few days driving to Kingston/Montreal this summer, and we took our first trip back to the UK last September. Next year is looking more hopeful, he gets his holidays increased to THREE WEEKS lol, so maybe a few days in Muskoka for a summer break... We plan to do our holidaying in Canada for a few years, there is plenty to see here.
