Bye, Shirley

Shirley is currently winging her way back to Toronto; she should be arriving in about 45 minutes.

This morning we did some reconnaissance, looking for a place to do a vehicle inspection, which is required for vehicle licensing and registration. We were not very successful, but I have since found a place to do it.

I drove Shirley to the airport around 11:30, and she texted me a photo of the excellent lunch she was having in the Maple Leaf Lounge.

Anyway, now that Shirl is gone, I have to get my act together, become a real BC resident, and get myself and my car registered with the various ministries. All good things come to an end.

This was an amazing adventure, and I thank Shirley from the bottom of my heart for helping to make this the trip of a lifetime.

Day three - Stanley Park

Yesterday we drove to Stanley Park and walked on the sea wall, which is 22 km long, for a while. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time down there. We got totally lost on the way back, and we eventually connected the GPS to get us home.

Day two -Maggie's 'hood

On Sunday Shirl and I checked out my new neighbourhood and had an amazing lunch in the Co Zi Café, which is on the ground floor of my new digs. It is actually one of the ten units in my condo building.

After lunch we headed over to Granville street to check out the stores, in particular a furniture store called Industrial Revolution. Shirl tested this amazing couch/bed that I saw when I was here in July. She approved of the whole outfit, and I ordered it. So I will have at least one piece of furniture in my new place.
