Getting Ready to Cruise to Hawaii - Sept 13

Well, we are almost ready to leave on our cruise.  Started our trip by travelling to Abbotsford, via Penticton.  Stopped off to see Christie, drop off some of her things, and take her for lunch to celebrate her birthday (which we will be away for, once again).  Had a great visit, and then left to travel the Hope -Princeton Highway to Doug and Stella's place; they are so good to us.  Chris was out from Vancouver and we had a chance to visit with him for a while.  He's a great young man with a wicked sense of humour - quite sarcastic, especially about sports which sits very well with Dawn.  Kelly was home when we arrived, so we visited with her for a while, too.

Went to dinner with Doug and Stella, to a nice Italian restaurant.  Great food.  Dawn and I both had veal parmigiana - very tasty.  We were sure full, after that.

Saturday was uneventful for much of the day.  Chris had to put up with Dawn watching the baseball game.  Kim came home from work not feeling well, so she went to bed.  We used her car to travel into the stadium for the football game.  Because Chris was in Abbotsford, we got to use his parking spot, which was about a block from the stadium entrance.  Had another nice dinner of various appetizers, and again we were full.

Then, it was across the street to watch the game, which in the end, the Lions came away with a victory.  It was a fun game to be at.  When we got back to Abbotsford, it was late, so off to bed we went.

Today, we are sitting around, watching the ball game on TV, waiting for the time to leave for the Elton John show.  It is at Rogers Place, which is right beside BC Place where we were last night.  This time, however, Chris will be home, so we will have to find parking nearby.
