July 2008 - Grades are in, school is out!

Konnichiwa!

The sun is shining, the temperature is rising, grades are in and school is out! As of 4:10pm today I am officially on summer vacation!!!

With summer vacation comes the next adventure… this time a little northern exposure. I’ve decided to discover the wild North American west. Markus and I will tour BC, meet up with some cheeky friends in Calgary and camp out in the Rockies. After he takes the train east across Canada, I’ll head west, back to Vancouver to meet my mom. Together we’re going to head north… far north… up to Alaska to cool down, watch some whales, glimpse the grizzlies and cruise along the coast.

August 11 is when, if you sit quietly and watch, you might just see this blond back in her natural habitat. I’ll be home for 4 weeks so please drop me an email or give me a call if you’re free.

Time to go home and pack my camping gear, hiking attire, formal wear, and regular chill out clothes into a 20 kilo pack. Wish me luck!

I hope that you are all doing well and look forward to hearing your news!

Canadians – see you soon!
Japanese – see you in September!
Others – see you on FB!
