Time Flies

When you are way too busy... Time just flies.

I haven't blogged all week, or read any blogs, but I'll post a photo from the past week or so..






A few photos just around where I live. We have had incredible weather lately. I hear the forcast might be changing..

Photo Hunt - Smelly

This weeks Photohunt Theme is Smelly

When I think of smelly, I want to think of all of the great smells around me. Since it is fall, there are many fresh smells in the air. Personally I love smelly candles such as vanilla and pomegranate. As well, I love the smell of fall leaves. Here are two picks for the hunt smelly.

The smell of a burning candle.

The famous Silvia Hotel in Vancouver, it's fall leaves and smells.

To Travel Again

Ah to travel again.. It all starts with an idea in your head...

We've stuck to Canada since August 2005 at which was the time we last visited Switzerland. Besides that, we took 4 days to go to the Okanagan and also Osoyoos. I don't remember doing much more than that traveling wise. This year we drove down to California so I could spend my vacation moving back up to Canada. You might call that travel, but I certainly don't call that vacation time.

Unless I look back in this blog, I'm not so sure I can find much more evidence of more than 3 days vacationing. You can only imagine why I must be longing for a good vacation. It is sort of staring us straight in the face. P and I both haven't had one! Nor will we totally get one until Christmas at which time everyone takes some time off.

My point is that P has finally told me we are going on Vacation next year. If it takes you more than a second to figure out where we will be spending at least part of our trip, you better stick around this blog a bit longer.

My main goal is to see areas of Amsterdam, France (Alsace/Chamonix) and Switzerland where we both have not seen enough. Actually I will be photographing because that is what drives me to complete excitement. His main goal is to relax and shut me up since I'm obsessed about moving back to Switzerland.

Our next main problem will be deciding the exact dates, time off, who we will visit and where we will stay. We are really hoping to spend some time staying with friends, even blogging ones to counter such costs.

But one last thing, we are planning almost a year in advance. We want to see the wine crush or the Autumn festivals. It's just an idea building, and keeping me sane as a struggle living my life as an Expat in Canada.

I want your feedback as we are still in the idea stage of our travels...

Trying to Figure It Out

Do you ever just feel like you want to accomplish so much in the weekend, but of course know it all will not happen? That's certainly happening to me this weekend. I want to accomplish all so much. I'll give you a bit of a taste of it. I wanted to go to the gym, swim, go car shopping, go shoot some Autumn photos, do some baking and go grocery shopping.

The Autumn weather has been windy, thus making the weather an unpredictable partially sunny day.

I've also been working on photography which has totally been on my mind lately. Here is my flickr graph (available tomorrow).

As Fall starts, we also start our new schedules.
I'm not sure if I'm ready for the change but it's already here.
