Chil’s Point of View….

The last few weeks have been really busy – at home and at work. I have not gone to the gym since November (almost 4 months) last year – so the weight is sneaking up. This combination has not helped much on keeping my stress levels low.

Some therapy – switch off cell phones, and head into another city where you do not know anyone.
Let’s go to Vancouver, Canada for the weekend!

Actually, it did work out like that. We had been planning a Vancouver weekend for a while – for this particular weekend. The timing of heading out now worked out great to take care of the busyness that has been happening ( — that last sentence does not make much sense. But I hope you know what I mean : ) ). Getting away was the best move at this time otherwise I would have exploded.
Once again, Nelly did allow me to take my laptop with me on the trip. Plus – the hotel we were staying at had free Wi-Fi. What a waste if you don’t have a device which would utilize such a service.

We headed for the boarder Friday evening. It seems everyone was going to Canada this weekend. We stayed in the border car line for over an hour and a half. Some people must be heading there because it is Chinese new year…. And Monday is going to be Presidents Day ( a holiday for many people – like Nelly – but excludes people like me. Dunno why I have to go to work that day).

Sightseeing, shopping, food – ate at some international restaurants : El Salvadorian, Jamaican, McDonalds (on our drive over), and Korean food. And the hotel had an indoor pool and hot tub. Good combo when it was cold as hell outside.
