Mission Accomplished

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Yes, our mission to Edmonton has ended.

We have paid our respects to friends and family, tied up legal and health issues involved with leaving the country, and bought a few last-minute items while we were in PST-free Alberta.

Probably the biggest challenge was to sell our car - and it is now gone.  It was a bit gut-wrenching, not so much because of the particular car, but more so because of what it represents - the last vestige of our old life.

Now, we are winging our way back to the coast.  A quick stop in Vancouver between flights, where technology abounds (free Wi-fi Internet).  This is the first update I have ever done from an airport.  Pretty cool.

By this afternoon, we will be back on the boat.
The biggest lesson learned on this trip?  Take enough luggage with you to carry all the stuff on the plane ride back, after emptying the car you drove the other way, and incorporating all the goodies you acquired along the way.
