Busy busy week coming up. So much to do and so little time to do it in. I start my Leave of absence in just under 5 days and then Kate and I will be on the road again.

Tomorrow is packed with a museum trip – Something I have been really looking forward to for a bit now. I have heard nothing but good things about the Royal BC Museum, and it has been something we have put off seeing for a long time. We will also be seeing the 2 latest IMAX films – We figure we might as well see them all before our trip.

Thursday we plan on going to Parksville and Qualicum for the day. We have been up there twice since we have been on the island, and I find it stunning. Before moving to the island, I have only experianced lakes, and rocky beaches. I love having the opportunity to walk along the sandy shores, that strech for miles.

On Friday Rhian and Alan will be flying out. I am looking forward to seeing them again.

Again it has been a busy while, and our update schedule has slowed to — well a bit of a standstill. In reality we have been quite busy. Museless is about to head off to Australia, so we have been busy trying to find a new place to live. We got ourselves a nice 2 bedroom, close to both of our work.

Of course finding the place was a bit of an adventure.  the second place we looked at had everything we wanted; utilities were included and the place had a walk-in closet and plenty of kitchen space. So we rushed to get a damage deposit in 2 hours is what it took for us to do so.  Only to find out someone beat us to the apartment by all of an hour. We were crushed.

Luckily, the person at the rental office was fantastic. She agreed to hold the other apartments for a day. Long enough for us to have a look at them and say if we wanted it. We now have this beautiful apartment in a good location, though the kitchen really sucks. We get to move in on the 29th.

We still have some of the details to work out – such as getting services set up, but overall it is going well.

We will keep you updated
