Greetings from Beautiful British Columbia....

Hello, from the rainy Northwest. Dad, Mom, brother Bee and I have traveled from California to beautiful Seattle and Vancouver. How beautiful? Well let's see, when we first arrived in the Seattle Airport, our Alamo Rent-a-car Rep told us that it's rained in Seattle for 26 consecutive days. Hmmm.. it's no wonder why the suicide rate is so high here - lack of sunlight makes no one happy. Anyways, on Thursday morning (after I had driven from LA - Hayward the previous evening after work) the 4 of us took a flight to Seattle, rented a full-size vehicle (we were suppose to have rented a Pontiac Grand Prix or similar... which turned out to be a Chevy Impala (woowoo!) but at the last second, some other customer had swiped the Impala from under our nose, so we got a SPACIOUS DODGE CARAVAN instead....for the price of a sedan... HOLLA @ THAT..>WoOOO WHoooOOO!) From Seattle we drove 3 hours to get to Vancouver. And here we are!

Today is Monday and I'll be headed back to Los Angeles in a few hours but what have I done here? Eat. Eat. Eat. Check out a couple sights, accompanied my family to see our parents' business partners not to mention, we've met many new friends along this trip.
