We had a fun time exploring Gastown this afternoon. Such awesome shops, and it really has an old-school feel and look. The steam clock was really special, and we arrived at the right time to hear it whistle. We then walked down to Rogers Arena and Mike found himself an official NHL game used goal …

100 Happy days – Day 87
I decided to have a break from posting yesterday, so I could post in the Canadian time zone, as that's the zone we'll be in for the next 3 weeks. The city of Vancouver is an eclectic mix of old and new buildings, and I love how much greenery there is! The highlight of today …
100 Happy days – Day 86
Well, we're 8 hours into our trip, and leg one is complete. That 8 hours has been very long! That 8 hours also includes the time we arrived at Christchurch airport lol. It's a little daunting to think we have 2 flights to go of around 16 hours of flight time, with another 3 hour …
100 Happy days – Day 85
Gosh, that's it! The last day of work is done and dusted! I don't have to go back to work until July 21st. I've never had a holiday that long from work or been overseas for more than two weeks! I'm pretty happy with how I left things, but boy, I'm pooped! I think an …
100 Happy days – Day 84
It was a strange drive home today. We're so used to the little guy being in the back. It's absolutely lovely to be home, but I'm a little sad Affro's not here and I was/am feeling pretty emotional about it all. We're very lucky that he can stay with my dad and his dog Trixie. …
100 Happy days – Day 83
It's pretty hard to pick a favourite picture from today! The walk is a little more intense than I remember last time, and I'm not sure my pappy (dad) didn't appreciate that, but he still did it! The waterfall was so much different to the last time we visited! I guess it just goes to …
100 Happy days – Day 82
What's the best way to spend the evening after a chilled out day? Watch some 80 classics on Disney +. I actually remember watching this one at the movies and having the soundtrack on tape, too. Some memorable songs, which I fondly remembered and sang along as well lol. I remember getting a vinegar bottle or …
100 Happy days – Day 81
Hello, long weekend. We made it to the Westcoast after a very wet and dark drive. I'm pretty happy to chill out and watch the fire. It doesn't hurt that we can hear the beach when we're outside either. I'm looking forward to chilling for a few days before we return to the "big smoke". …
100 Happy days – Day 80
It was a hectic day at work, and that continued after I left. I was running late for my appointment, and then my bike tyre popped on my way there. Somehow when I was walking my bike, it tipped over and the pedal went into my leg. Mike and Affro came to my rescue and …
100 Happy days – Day 79
Only three more days of work to go before the big holiday. I got a few jobs ticked off my to-do list today, which feels good, although I added a few more as well. I know I'm doing my best to remember everything and do a good handover and that's all I can do! I'm …
