Fun Facts

Luftansa Airline November 9th... 10:30 for Koot and 3:15 for me...

Time has come for Kootenay and I to leave the country. We (and by we i mean she) has been shot tagged and inspected until no one could find any reason to deny her access to their country. That isn't entirely true, England would still have problems agreeing to let her in, but who need to leave rain and travel to rain? Not us. Our first stop is Frankfurt Germany. For anyone who is concerned we will be staying at the Best Western Plaza.

I have been shocked by the small amout of information out there about Frankfurt. Frommers guide doesn't even mention it. So Koot and I will be exporing the city for three days with photocopied sheets of city information. Weird that so few people write about it when it has one of the biggest airports in Europe. Apprently there is a grocery store at the airport. That is one way to keep people from exploring the city.

From there we are heading to Lisbon. Here we are hoping to stay at Hotel Mirapaque. It is in the center of town which can be expensive, but apprently if you don't mind staying somewhere with wood paneled lounges and simulated brown leather seating they are happy to have you and your dog. We are going to stay here until the 17th of November. Then we are off to Nazare.

My address in Nazare will be:

Rua Dr Jose Caborinho
Marques Da Silveira
Vila Mafra
10 Andar Dto
Letra C
Nazare

Not sure what the postal code is, but i will keep you posted... (get it? posted? ha ha)

as you leave and a new world begins for you, it also does for me. no more daily calls to the UBC bookstore. i wonder if they will think that their out of town book orders are going down when they get the bill for the 1-800 #? as i sit and cry over your computer, (really I do mean that), I also realize that the water damage that has been done to your keyboard won't make any difference as Aisha has already ruined it. hope your flight wasn't too terrible. miss you so much already. t
ps... the first thing aiden did was check your blog and inform me that i had to as well. he misses you too... and keep it PG
