Heya Steve,

We met up with your parents today, and had a great day with them - it was really great to spend some time with them, showing them around town, and going to the event put on by the conference they're on :)

They asked for me to let you know that they're doing well, having a great time on the cruise, really enjoying themselves :) The internet access on the ship is really expensive, so they asked me to let you know! Can you update the rest of your family too for them? Thanks!

Take care dude,catch you soon :)

Hi all,

Arrived safely in vancouver after a very long flight, it was 9 hours from Amsterdam, so I think it was about half past two London time when we got to the hotel.

Did some sight seeing yesterday and a bit more today. Cannot give details so thar Carol can put all the stuff in the postcards.

Hotel is very plush, we are on the 24th floor. Most of the shops seem to be hidden underground which is really odd.

Carol is happy because we visited Tim Hortons, for their donuts that Carol has had a thing about since she was 16, and even better it is 10yards from the door of the hotel.

We found out where we have to go to get the cruise ship, its about 10-15 minutes walk so I think we will get a taxi there, I don't fancy dragging the suitcase that distance.

Lots of love

Mum and Dad

I took mum and dad to the airport yesterday morning on the train. City Airport is small. Quite a straight forward journey, part from getting from the Central line platform at Bank to the DLR platform. They were excited to be going. Think they were really looking forward to it yesterday.
They should have landed in Amsterdam at 12.50 and then a couple hours later catch a flight to Vancouver, not sure when it was meant to land. So just waiting on an email from dad to say they've arrive.

Going on holiday a week from tomorrow. Will be interesting, will be fun. Should be a laugh whatever happens (I hope). I've got the shopping list sorted and the list of dinners ready. Just need to do a bit of shopping before we go. And get all the money together. Missing Dave's but get that tonight. Missing most of mine and Will's. Hopefully looking after Moni on tuesday, wednesday and friday next week will give me enough for the food. But lacking spending money. Never mind.
