*as you read the following, imagine the sound of heart-wrenching sobs, rent clothing, torn hair...............
Allan, I'd give anything to be able to go. And I hope that I will get there in the next couple of years (so keep it going).
But I was in Vancouver last September and this year the kitchen needs renovating, the house needs painting, the fridge, freezer and lounge need replacing, the dollar needs to get better .......... so
I CAN'T GO !!!!!!!
But it doesn't stop me from dreaming about it and looking forward to all the reports we'll get when everyone gets back.
I suppose that things will start getting busier for you, seeing as it's less than 6 months away [busier, life can get busier ?!?!?!?!]
