Vancouver Prep

So, in exactly a week from now, I will be on my way to Vancouver for a week-long sight-seeing/catching-up-with-a-friend trip. The trip has been planned for awhile, but that doesn't mean I'm not stressed about getting ready for it. The biggest pressure right now is getting my taxes filled out before I leave, as I'll be getting back the day before they're due (more on taxes later though? maybe...). Another stressor is that Marina (my friend there) and I have decided to go snow skiing one day...now, although I love skiing, this will be my first time in over 10 years, so I'm a little nervous. Fortunately, one of my clients' sons is about my size and snowboards often, so they've offered to lend me his snow clothes/accessories, which is very nice of them.

Then of course there's the other packing that will need to be done and setting up the arrival/departure pick-up plans with Marina (it's been offered that her mom might be picking me up at the airport since Marina will be at work...). Finally, I also need to finish reading my Vancouver guide book so I know what I want to do. So, I'm a bit stressed, but I'm sure it'll be a great trip. Never been to Canada before, and I've only heard great things about Vancouver. Plus, I'm kinda considering moving there someday, so this is more than just a leisure trip.
