My family is to join me in Seattle today, and we're to head up to Vancouver on a Chinese tour-group bus! I haven't been on one of those since I was in junior high! You know, the endless stop-and-go, taking pictures constantly at every scenic spot (where you only stay long enough to take the picture.)

The Lord will have mercy on me, since Joy will be my sidekick. :) I even have a manual that will give us good (or "bad", depending on how you look at it) ideas on how to plot trouble and mayhem. Come on, how else are we to make it a worthwhile trip? Stay tuned for details of our exploits.
