Canada....

Well, after about 15 hours of flying time, we arrived at Vancouver International airport, a whole 45 minutes early, and were met by our friends Chris and Pearl and Aunt Mary and Josh and Amanda. So fun to be met by loved ones!
It is really cold here... Today we went out to get coats for the kids and buy long pants for those that didn't actually have any... We never wear long pants in Papua except for that one week each year that we spend in Pyramid! We also visited the Superstore.... The kids couldn't get over how huge the shampoo bottles are! They were overwhelmed by all that is available there.
We were also successful in obtaining new drivers licenses. Thankfully we were not required to do a road test.... whew.... Today we insured the vehicle that we will be using and it sure feels good to be independant! We also got a phone, phone number and the internet to work...
We are still jet-lagging a little. It's after 11pm and I don't feel tired in spite of a broken sleep last night...
