DAYS EVENTS: Day 1, Wednesday June 27, 2007
The day was warm and sunny all day. I had a haircut first thing in the morning and then dropped Cassie off at Paige’s until Tammy finished her appointment at ICBC. Got home about 11:00 am. Finished the packing and we were off to Abbotsford to get one more key fob for the alarm in the motorhome. Did some banking and we were off on our holiday. Willa and Tegan both agreed it was hard to believe we were finally away on our holiday after 2 years of planning. We hit the road about 2:30 pm. Called the Bennett’s to let them know we were on our way. Had a great drive all the way to Salmon Arm. The roads were good and the motorhome just rolled along. We only had one stop and that was at the toll both and just for a few minutes to check the motor home. Used the GPS to locate Keith and Lillian’s house and pulled right in about 7:15 pm. Lillian had supper ready and we enjoyed a great meal and good friends the rest of the evening. I sold Keith and Lillian a house back in 1971-2 and we’ve remained friends ever since. Keith has semi retired and is now the head of CASARA (Search and Rescue by air) for part of the province.
When a plane is missing, they are involved in the search (and they are all volunteers) in SE BC. I was dog tired and went to bed about 10:00. Didn’t sleep well but I think still excited about leaving on the holiday and that it was a warm muggy night. Well Lets See What Tomorrow will bring
