So glad you have been well received over there, Alex - that BC hospitality is unique and made quite an impression on me four years ago.

Thanks, all you BC guys, for taking care of our Alex - he's quite the fellow!

Take care,
Ham.

[PS: The Nanaimo Bars! Oh yeesssssss! I remember them well - once consumed, never forgotten!]

Thanks to Steve and Bobbie for hosting the event. The food, whisky and company were grand. It was great to meet Alex for the first time in person. I've got a few pictures, too.

The Wizard doing his wizardry at the BBQ.

Another one of Alex and I. The man has very good taste, as you can see.

Raphael with the hostess with the mostest.

Big Mikey checking out the spirits cupboard.

Mrs. Macman. What, is her wineglass empty? I must be too busy taking pictures.

Alex and Bobbie as the evening carries on.

The Reverend illustrating a point.

Another group shot.

Mrs. Macman and I.

Well I am still in Canada. Arrived at Vancouver Airport 11:30 Wednesday to find flight delayed till early evening. Spent a pleasant afternoon exploring downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park. Returned to the airport, we got on the plane then were told there was a glitch with its computer and we had to disembark. So much for these new fangled fly by wire planes. The airline put me into a nice hotel in Vancouver, so an extra day under the blue skies of Canada! The plan at the moment is to get the flight away later today and I would then arrive home some time on Friday. Will post some pics once I get them organised.

Ask Hamish, I'm willing to bet he remembers those.

I am sorry I missed the visit and the kilt night. I had really hoped to head over, but in all honesty have not been on the site much and missed the final details. I hope you had a good trip Alex and that all was well with Ann when you got home.

Well I have just arrived home today, Friday. I will be going to visit Ann later today.
A big thankyou to The Wizard of BC and Kilted Knome for putting up with me around their house for a whole week and for hosting the kilt night. It was wonderful to meet them again and to meet for the first time with BigMikey, Raphael and MacMan.
I will post a few of my Canada photos later.
