We Made It!


Kim always wanted to see what Vancouver looked like covered in snow and it seems the snow gods were eager to grant him his wish! In all my life i can't remember so much snow ever falling that close to Christmas. Any other year and i would have been jumping with joy at the thought of a white Christmas spent building snowmen and frollicking in the fluffy white stuff. But, when said white stuff keeps planes from taking off and turns Vancouver airport into complete chaos it is another story all together!

After two long days spent at the airport, standing in lines as far as the eye could see, waiting eagerly to board planes that were cancelled at the last minute and spending hours on the phone waiting on hold to re-book tickets for flights we were told were fully booked until after Christmas we were in luck. We somehow managed to get on a flight that would get us into Sydney on the afternoon of the 24th.

Thank you cosmic powers and thank you to everyone who drove us to the airport, picked us up, drove us back again, picked us up yet again and drove us one last time! You know who you are and we love you!
