NIce to see ya back here!!!

Would anyone travel up to Van to have a TE gals party?

[KnottedYet]

Me! I would! (gotta get my new passport pdq, eh?)

[salsabike]

Hell, yeah. But it would have to be on a weekend for those of us who work and can't take time off (school jobs where you don't get to pick your vacation days).

[crazycanuck]

Sunday the 19th of May is when we were planning on being back in Van by..

Maybe we could meet in between and have an option to ride too? There are some great roads in/around Birch Bay, Blaine, etc...

[mimitabby]

In a word, YES!!!

[crazycanuck]

Quill-karaoke

I don't have a map handy but what's halfway? What about Bellingham?

Need to go and find a map..

Throw me some thoughts..

[KnottedYet]

B'ham is pretty much halfway.

And the Chrysalis Inn is a very niiiiiiice place to stay... http://www.thechrysalisinn.com/ and right on the bike path, too.

[salsabike]

Oh, what a nice idea.

[crazycanuck]

Ok, Bellingham sounds good to me. I just checked out msn maps n directions & it's only 2hrs drive.

I'll keep you updated & speak to the man.

In terms of dates, the only one that would suit everyone would be the 18th of may..

It's possible..

[kelownagirl]

Is that the long weekend? Bellingham? Hmmm...

Well, if things change for a get-together, let me know. In fact, you and hubby will be passing near where I work...I work about 20 kms. just north of the Canada-U.S. border...near the Golden Ears Regional Park in Langely. Yes, we do have Americans that commute everyday to our workplace.

But I live downtown. LONG commute..since it's not by car.

[crazycanuck]

Ok..*sigh* updated info.

Bellingham sounds much easier in terms of driving back to Vancouver. It's towards the end of our trip & the less driving time(from Calgary) before we get on plane for a gazonking long time Gives us time to pack, shop etc in Van. (i want to thwack ian..he wants to visit SEattle but can't make up his freakin mind..he does however want to drive through Montana to Bellingham from Calgary..ARHHHH)

So, the 19th is the best bet & it's possible we could be there by the evening of the 18th depending on traffic from Calgary. We'll probably head off sometime on the 20th..

If you're up for Bellingham..let me know. If you're up for Vancouver, let me know.

Starfish-how far is your work from Maple Ridge?

So..yes it's bellingham..

Is it Starfish in the ocean or star in the sky that you are asking?
Let's put it this way I am across the Fraser River from Maple Ridge. It's the same Fraser River where 1+ million salmon swim in near us, from the Pacific. We are constructing a bridge.....and it will have signed bike paths. And the bike routes will hook up the Trans Canada trail..as you may know, a trail that has different parts of completed routes across Canada.

Whatever you do, make your visit to Vancouver enjoyable though it might be short(?).
