Itinerary Update
Just a change of flight plan. Not going via Auckland anymore. Instead I am travelling to San Francisco via Sydney. Also the journey home is through San Francisco and Sydney.
I went to Eastern Canada in 2006 and enjoyed every minute of that trip. My next goal in life is to visit Western Canada!

Another photo of Vancouver thanks to Leah Holiove.

I follow Global BC & AM730 reporter Leah Holiove on Twitter and she often posts nice pictures of Vancouver from the traffic helicopter.
Victoria, BC looks great!
The reason why I set up this tumblr account is to write about my big Trip 2012.
Here is the draft itinerary: Flight to Auckland, New Zealand for a night stopover. Next comes the grueling flight to San Francisco. 4 nights in the City by the Bay. Next up a flight and connecting flight to Calgary, Canada! The next day a bus tour in Calgary begins with the bus stopping overnight in Banff, Jasper, Kamloops, Victoria and VANCOUVER! Ever since the 2010 Winter Olympics I have wanted to visit Vancouver. I will also hop on a greyhound bus and spend time in Seattle before returning to Vancouver and then YVR airport for the long journey home!
This promises to be the trip of a lifetime with views of the Pacific coastline and the Canadian rocky mountains. Currently saving my pennies so I can afford to go on this trip!
