x-continential adventure

















here's a preview of our journey to vancouver. as you can see, we're taking the very long way to our new home. we've both always wanted to do the pacific coast highway drive and this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

we begin on august 11 and anticipate arriving in van on september 1. most of our time will be spent in along the west coastline. of course, we are taking a major and necessary pit stop at 'the gorge' in oregon, a lifelong windsurfing dream of chris'. during that time, i plan to work dilligently on my tan and immerse myself in trashy tabloid mags.

new van digs

15th & oak street, shaugnessy

we decided on a central location in the west end, situated between kitsilano and the main street area. my hospital is conveniently located on oak, about 10 blocks away, so i can easily walk or bike to work. chris' new office is downtown, so he can bike to work as well. we decided on a furnished apartment to save ourselves the hassle of getting new furniture only to sell it a year later. our decision to get a furnished place was solidified upon seeing pictures of this apartment...oh, and there is apparently a bedroom, separate from the den; we just haven't seen it yet!
