Being the complete bum that I am, I don't get to go on very many vacations. So when my parents booked one and asked me if I wanted to come I never even considered thinking it over. I was not going to get left behind. I put my request in at work for time off and patiently waited for an approval. After weeks of uncertainty I finally got a thumbs up and I couldnt possibly be any happier. I only get one week but its a week not spent at work and a week not spent in Edmonton. Im slowly starting to warm up to this city but sometimes I really need to get out. Right now is one of those times.So where am I going? An even bigger city! Vancouver. Not a likely choice for a vacation but had the decision been mine it would have been the same. Not only does my oldest brother live here but I will also finally get to satisfy my deep desire to explore a modern major metropolis. It also provides me the perfect opportunity to familiarize myself with Vancouver so that I may play here in the future. Needless to say I will totally be going as a tourist and will likewise be posting about my various experiences right here.
Only half my time will be spent in Vancouver however as I will also be visiting my aunt in Kelowna. I'm honestly more excited about this part of my trip and I greatly look forward to the sunshine, the beauty and the relaxation.
After years of hard work I finally get some real time off. I leave tommorow but is still isnt soon enough.
Update: My trip to Vancouver was without a doubt the highlight of my summer. Exploring Vancouver was a blast and being in Kelowna again was a dream. I would have loved to have been able to put together a proper post to relate my experiences but I can't gather the words to express the time I had. All I can say is that it was much to short and next summer I will be much better prepared.
