I don't think that next year is a goer. I spent 5 weeks over in Canada and the US during the Olympics (patriotic? me?). The exchange rate for the US was unspeakable so I'll be paying the trip off for a while. 2002 is a possibility (I'm planning to be back in Canada then anyway around about September/October) but, hey, I have trouble getting to the BOBW cons in Sydney (and I'm down there every month). Besides, I don't know if I can stand the derision and the looks I get from my husband whenever I mention Vancouver and Stargate in the same sentence. I love Vancouver - I could very easily live there (only my job is not really transferrable). Luckily, the rest of the family loves the place too, so it won't be hard to drag them all back. If only we could gate across the Pacific. That plane trip is appalling.
