Earlier this week I had a great night in Vancouver meeting my favourite travel blogger, Jeannie (nomadicchick.com). Fortunately for me I procrastinated long enough and she wrote up a little something about the meeting and such. While you’re there, be sure to read the rest of that post too. And while you’re on her site go ahead and read the whole damn site, you won’t regret it. Sweet.

I’ve always been a fan of the public transit system in British Columbia. Of the various cities I’ve visited or lived in over my many years, the transit system in Vancouver and Victoria are easily amongst the best I’ve ever used. Since I landed here on Tuesday, I’ve been relying on the public transit system extensively, and it’s been nothing but super handy. Consequently, I enjoyed this tribute to public transit from around the world over on Uncornered Market.

This week over on Everything Everywhere Gary started a cool series of posts on street food. It’s a really cool read so far. I recommend starting with day 1 here.

Do you love animals? And do you not totally hate the idea of volunteering? Then take a gander at this super cute list of baby animal volunteering opportunities around the world over at Off Track Planet. I have the list saved and I hope to try a couple of these.

I’m really happy that I finally remembered to take a Laviator photo this week. So I’ll be emailing that to Heather! Oh, and did y’all see this review of sleepphones? I am really tempted to get some. They seem awesome! Anyone try them?

Alright kiddies, I hope everyone has a great week. I’m off to watch zombies. Keep on truckin’!

The sore point for me is watching this great scenery sail past while I have no photography skills at all. So a few days ago, I stood on the deck of the seventh floor, right up at the bow and tried my best to get a good photo. With it being a chilly February afternoon, high up on the bow of a fast moving ship, it wasn’t exactly crowded. I have a very tough time taking photos; I don’t feel comfortable taking them, plus I don’t have much of an eye for it. So excuses aside, here are a few that I got which seem fairly nice to me. Let me know what you think!

Unfortunately, photos alone don’t do much to capture the beauty of the area. You’ll just have to go there as well and experience it for yourself.
