well after a longgg day of travelling and a severe lack of sleep i have arrived in vancouver!! :) the journey wasnt too bad, the fight was delayed two hours in glasgow but i suppose i cant really complain! the plane was hugeee had 9 seats per row and i have no idea how many rows there was! was crazyy! i was sitting beside a really lovely wee old lady (the plane was pretty much full of old people?!!) but she was going out for 9 weeks to do some travelling across the country to see her children and grandchilden - she was 82! go her!!
anyways i arrived at the airport, got luggage, got through the slightly scary immigration people etc fine, got onto the skytrain - its a train service that literally is up in the sky for some of the journey, so that was pretty fun! met jackee (my roommate) at the train station and came back to my new house for the summer! its gorgeous! il try and take some photos soon so you can see, but its just been newly renovated so its beautiful! off a tree lined street, little patio etc so think i will settle in very quickly! had a bit of a laugh last night after i got unpacked etc, went to sit on my bed (they had just built it a couple of days before for me coming) and it collapsed!! i dont think it was coz ive been eating everything in sight at home the past few weeks - im going to blame it on being an ikea bed! but jackee got her brother on hand and the drill out and a few screws later and all is well. it has survived my first night anyway! :)
so my first night over, its now nearly 7 in the morning and im wide awake - silly jet lag! i tired to stay awake as long as possible last night, lasted til about 7 and couldnt keep my eyes open any longer! im going to a meeting today with bunac to find out about banks, phonecards, jobs etc etc so will hopefully meet some people there. im hoping to meet up with some bunacers who have already arrived here to go for a bit of an adventure - i think the aquarium was mentioned so i will fill you in on it soon!
bye for now!

Check you out with the blog - superstar status now. I'm loving it so far though. A pretty typical Karen start with the bed issue, there is usually a story of you breaking something involved - don't have much luck with beds do you (I remember a certain new years lol). Have fun at your meeting.

Hi there greetings from mum n dad n great to hear you have arrived safely and in good hands by the sound of things. All are well back here - mal is in his pjs watching big brother - ali has been pottering about in the garden with peter stuck to his ear as usual. He put the fencer up around the edge of the garden as the cattle are likely to be in the field now that the silage has been cut. Mums butt sticking out of the wardrome most of evening as she is still sorting out her clothes ( sorry - her 'outfits' - for the cruise. I was working at the new 'old' boat (fiberglass one) so that at least we will have something to put on the water when we are at castlerock.
