Canada is one place I've dreamed about visiting mainly to see my rellies in Ontario. One evening three months before X'mas, through a twist of fate I decided I will spend Christmas somewhere else. Anywhere but Auckland. I love Christmas in NZ but not last year, I just badly needed to go away!
Because I was time-constrained and not game enough to risk not getting back to Vancouver for my flight back home due to weather disrupts, I had no choice but give up my intentions of visiting Ontario. It was a huge disappointment not seeing all our rellies and was a greater disappointment I guess for them later to find out I was in Vancouver but did not get to Ontario.

I started writing this months ago and never got to finishing it. Many things have happened since then, weight issues, feeling in a rut, health issues although I took this in quite positively for having been finally able to learn what my problem was. Have visited a few new places domestically and overseas and managed to resurrect my love of poetry.
Gong back to this post, I could ramble on about how I fell in love, so in loved with Victoria Island, BC and had a great time catching up with my ex-sisters - in- law with my kids! I've taken a few photos to share, so I will let the pictures do the talking instead:
