This is it Canada

So this is it. What started as a dream back in 2004 became a reality for me. I have been here in Canada now for 14 months, but it feels like 6! Before the immigration man comes knocking I am jumping on a big bird out of here....but will return. This is my last day of my Canadian Dream.


I could ramble on about how awesome my time here has been, but feel there are about 400 pics uploaded on my facebook profile and about 22 other posts on this blog that, to me, paint a pretty solid picture of pure awesomeness. (Just once more though, season of my life!!) haha

But what has really made this trip such an amazing experience are the people I have had he pleasure of meeting. You could be doing the most kick-ass activity in the world, but lets face it, if you are not doing it with friends then its just not going to be that cool!! So here you are, my thank you to every great person i meet on this trip. You all made it what it was for me, something that I will never forget.....:

The Mike and Julie Blackwell wedding squad, Hails cousin Suz and buddies, Dani in Whistler, Katie who put me in touch with Toni and Dan, The cherry picking Qubec Qua (spelling), The Cowboy and Indian in the red pickup hotrod, Robin Paul and Maple Park campground, Laura and her Aunt and Uncle and their sailing dog, Jesus in Calgary Greyhound Station, The awesome buddies from Samesun Hostel in, The Vier cres crew (I love you guys/miss you guys/wana do it all again you guys!!), The Days Inn workmates, Every single person who rode with me during the season I will never forget, The competitors of the Big Mountain Battle, Every single buddy I made in Revelstoke - you know who you are, The touch footy lads, The Yorkton crew who party like rockstars in Nelson Lodge, Alex and your sled - thank you for the experience!!, The Sasquatch crew including the Yorkton crew, The Zalas team, Suzzie with her little critters, The wonderful lady who had me rake her lawn, got me stoned and talk politics for hours - I still don't know politics very well, Whiskey the mountain biking chasing machine, Angie and Chad and every fiend and family member, the HOG group - thank you for the intro - I am hooked!, Herb and Helen posing in a picture with my Granny and Pop in 2003, Daisy and Tessa......and every other person who is escaping my thoughts right now.

And of course the beautiful Amanda, thank you for being you (xx). Angie, I will return her to Canada. Oneday.....:)

Canada isn't going anywhere, Revelstoke isn't going anywhere, but unfortunately a lot of friends won't be here when we return. Life of the transient town huh. That's what makes leaving hard, the people. But to all that matter, we will see you again and until then, I CAN'T WAIT! Right now I have to immerse myself in the beaches of Hawaii, Fiji and Australia. Not such a tough road ahead.

Miss you all already
