Home Again

We arrived back in Fernie about 3 pm Thursday afternoon.

The flight from PVR to Kalispell, via Seattle, was long. We arrived in Kaslispell about midnight and took a cab to Kalispell Grand Hotel, where we had left our car for 5 weeks.  Whenever we stay a night in Kalsipell we stay at this neat heritage hotel downtown. Since we had reserved a room for the night we returned, they let us leave our car in the parking lot at no charge. Even factoring the 2 nights we stayed at the hotel, their generosity saved us a little over $100. in parking fees. The car was covered in about 30 cms of snow but it was light and easy to clean.

After a bit of Christmas shopping we drove back to Fernie the next day.  When we left Fernie we were experiencing an extended indian summer. Now we are full into winter. Luckily we missed the really cold weather. Now they are are normal, just below freezing, temperatures. ... and plenty of snow.  The ski hill officially open tomorrow with about a 1 metre base.  That's a good start to the season!

Home Sweet Home

A bit of shoveling required on the deck this afternoon.

On the Way Home

This blog is being updated over the free in-flight wireless internet access...  Really!

We are on the way home on an Air Alaska flight from PVR to Seattle, then on the Kalispell.  We should arrive in Kalispell about midnight and have a hotel booked downtown Kalispell.  I'm not exactly looking forward to digging the car out of the hotel parking lot but we are looking forward to getting home some time Thurday afternoon.

For the last couple of days in Sayulita the Costa Verde school let Linda and I sit in on the Spanish course. The Costa Verde course is far better than the PEACE organisation's course we took the week before.

We packed up this morning and rode to the storage facility near the PVR airport. Bodega Vallarta is the name of the facility and it is well run and secure. It is about a $10 cab ride to the airport. We plan to come back to continue the bike trip in late March.
