Trippin with the Ex

Well folks we are at 9 days, but hey, who's counting. We are still in Nelson and tonight we are staying at the Hume Hotel which Bev tells me is haunted. I told her if I see a ghost she will be the first to know.

This morning was spent in Winlaw with Norma and Helen and this afternoon was spent at Ainsworth Hot Springs, I haven't been feeling well today so I didn't go into the springs, however Bev did and seem to have a good time. A record for her 4 hot springs on one holiday. I think the driving is catching up to me, too much travel not enough rest. We have put on almost 3000 kms and I am tired of looking at asphalt, I am looking forward to coming home and sleeping in my own bed. Don't get me wrong, this has been a wonderful experience and wouldn't change a thing (well almost) I got to do something that I have wanted to do for a very long time, I did a road trip of our great province. Driving through the Rockies, seeing those majestic mountains (new snow) I felt a sense of awe and about how little I am in the great big universe. It was a very spiritual experience.

The other thing I learned, you really must give a lot of thought to picking a travel companion. Don't read too much into that statement however, it is true. You spend 24/7 with someone for 10 days you'd better have set up some sort of ground rules well in advance or at some point of the holiday things could get a little testy. Let me leave that thought there as it is something I must give more time too...

I am off to have a bath (really I am not feeling well) and I am hoping with a bath and a good nights sleep I will be ready for tomorrow's journey...

Goon night all...
