Home again!!!!

Landed in Cancun at 10 am and were home by noon. These 3 were very happy to see us (oh - and probably the big bowl of food!) - this is our original Mama, her first black kitten, who was Chiik's pal, and a new kitten I will call Padre, as he has a white collar! Now there are a total of 7 cats - all our favourites and a couple of new ones coming to be fed every day - and of course our Botas, who has mellowed over the summer since his neutering last spring....:-)




Saturday night we all got together at David Lau's for dinner - Sharon, Jill and Diane brought us up to date on all the local gossip and news.









Sandra and Dan brought us the jungle news.....!









Les and Valorie rounded out the group....it was so great to see everyone. One couple who didn't make it landed too late and then without their luggage....oh dear....but it arrived the next day safe and sound.

Seattle to Atlanta to Cancun.....




Somewhere down there is sleepy Atlanta. We left Seattle at 10:55 pm and arrived Atlanta at 6:30 am. Quick hour and then on to Cancun.









Oh, yah, down there is the Cancun strip and city and those beautiful beaches........bring it on!!!!









Miki surrounded by palm trees and flowers, soaking in the warmth as we wait for the bus......!








A brand new GINORMOUS wind mill, installed by CFE, the local power company. Wow - can't wait to hear how much hydro this will save us and produce.

Seattle for the day!






Another great visit to one of our favourite cities - and the sun was shining!!!!!








Walked all over town, saw the sights and enjoyed the Chinatown gate!








Stopped at Ivar's for our annual chowder and acres of clams.....yummy!









Glad to see the last of such a large city - see you in May, Seattle!!!

Vancouver to Seattle




Another great evening with Kelly, Sean, little Emma and Amber and friend Heather. A great send off! See you in May!









Yah, we do take a lot of stuff with us.....but we need all of it. Thanks Jason, for schlepping us to the Amtrak station again.








Miki at our seat on the train....lovely way to travel to Seattle. Comfortable and cheap!








The scenery along the route is awesome - follows the ocean all the way down. Lots of little towns and communities along the way.
