Patty, You sure know how to travel right. I agree you should write a book called "Patty's Adventures". That way folks could travel vicariously by reading your stories ("virtual travels").
So glad you had such a great trip (despite the rain {terrible year for daytime rain} and flight problems) to BC last summer. The author you met and purchased a book from is J. Robert Whittle, my husband! I was so surprised to read your notes and Robert was thrilled at what you said about being familiar with the area for your bus trip due to reading the book. We've just signed up at Facebook and a friend has a Fan Club there for him. Would love to see you add a comment. Happy travels!
THANKS enjoyed your trip and it is a big help for me in planning our trip in 2008. Would love to read the book that you brought from that Man. Has he an email address.
