No Place Like Home

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
John Howard Payne

It goes without saying that travel and holidays are great. We experience something different and/or find ourselves relaxing and/or spend time with family/friends. For us it was wonderful to visit with Althegal and Pufferpooper, to sit and walk and watch the sunsets English Bay, to hike the seawall in Stanley Park, to drive through the mountains, and to visit Osoyoos. But it's also special to return and enjoy and do my own thing in my own time in the comforts of my own home.

Soon after touch down at the airport, I heard someone screaming "hi" and saw an exuberant, joyful little girl running towards me at full speed. I wish I had a picture, but I have a memory that I will cherish.

The following pictures will have to do, and I think they do very well.
