I know exactly what you mean about returning 'home'. Canada is a wonderful country - but it is not the only one! Yes, we end up wondering back to our homeland; sometime for just a period in time and sometimes to stay. Most often either is derived through some level of necessity. And yes, over time we take on the appearance of sliding back into the north American suburban mode. But I don't think we are ever really the same as before our journey. Each adventure changes how we look at the world and our relationship to it. Coming home will be a new journey for you - even though it will only have been a year since you left as you pointed out it is not the same. Nothing ever is! Cheers. N.

Your comments and Nataghia's about Continental Airlines were an eye opener. We were planning to book through Continental when we move to CR later this year. We have heard they are the best airline for travelling with pets. The last time we flew to CR we went via American, never again. It's snowing again in Calgary. This winter will not go away! Enjoy the warmth and sunshine. I enjoyed your random thoughts. Your comments and Nataghia’s about Continental Airlines were an eye opener.

It’s snowing again in Calgary. This winter will not go away!
Enjoy the warmth and sunshine.

We are missing our Pura Vida, but with the snow melting and the grass peeking out we can imagine once again the beauty of Canada- and appreciate it in a new light! The winter has been very hard for me, I still wear my winter coat, layers and a toque, even when it's above 0 on the nice days, I can't ever seem to get warm. I had a chuckle about the Continental comment - we had misery with them as well! but alas, if it takes you to where you need to go - Pura Vida!
