Sounds like a great trip! Can't wait to hear all about it
Cheryl,Have a wonderful trip, Kay and SousChef! Be sure to visit the Empress Hotel while you're in Victoria. Fabulous, breathtaking place....if I remember correctly it's a very short walk from the ferry - 10 minutes or less, it's right on the Harbor.
Butchart Gardens is astonishing. Can't wait to see all your pics, and you haven't even left yet!
Oh, that's wonderful! I wanted to have high tea at the Empress when I was there many moons ago, but at the time I didn't know you had to reserve quite a while in advance.Cheryl,
We are scheduled to have high tea at the Empress
I'm so sorry to hear that, K'girl. I had to postpone our 30th anniversary trip earlier this year and ended up having surgery a few weeks after we were scheduled to go, so I understand how you feel. I hope you get better soon. Take care.
Oh dear, no bueno, K-girl! Happy that you're back!
Here is more than you ever want to know about high tea thereOh, that's wonderful! I wanted to have high tea at the Empress when I was there many moons ago, but at the time I didn't know you had to reserve quite a while in advance.
... I have been so very ill since we got back from Hawaii the ending of May (we were gone for the entire month of May) and have not really been in contact with anyone or thing.
I have neglected everything...my poor husband had to fend for himself and didn't do well. I use to be on ChefTalk as well, but I just can't keep up.
We left on another month long road trip across the country and just got back. I lied and said that I was okay to do the trip, but I really wasn't, I should have been in the hospital. I can't remember the first week or two of the trip!
It's been one hell of a year for me and I pray that from this point on, it will be smooth sailing.
No one is more important than yourself. And your health has to come first. Please don't be so foolish again. You are missed when you are not with us.
I'd rather have a glass of wine.
YEP!
The thing is I DON'T get sick! That was the first time I'd been sick for, wow, my mid-twenties and that's no lie.
Addie, mahalo, thanks for that.
A senior moment. I have forgotten "You're Welcome" in Hawaiian.
Well, Addie there really isn't a Hawaiian word, but several phrase in response to "Mahalo" : A'ole pilikia (ah-o-leah-pea-lee-key-ah) -it's no trouble
