   The attitudes we have when we traveling across the country or going anywhere   
   is a matter of perception. The destination is the destination but the trip   
   is the trip. It starts when you get in the car and leave...What is behind is   
   behind and you no longer have control of that. It is the trip, the journey,   
   the adventure that now awaits you. Enjoy it. The destination is far away   
   maybe but it is the journey to get there that must be enjoyed. Must?? No it   
   is not a must but a 'could'. :)

   'Would have been nice....' You haven't started the trip yet, include it in   
   your plans. Seeing it again is part of the adventure, yes?

   Exciting and scary all at the same time. No? Enjoy....:)

   I grow vegetables. I don't grow flowers because they die off and I am left   
   with only memories...like when I moved all the time as an RCAF dependent. I   
   left all my friends behind or they left first. A good life in some ways but   
   tough in others.

   There are some excellent museums in Victoria. The Wax museum and another one   
   that has displays of early logging in BC and other things that I can't   
   remember right now. I guess I didn't pay attention. Maybe someone else can   
   fill in the blanks...

   Have a great adventure! Remember the adventure starts when you start...enjoy   
   and whatever happens is just 'part of the adventure'!   
   Have fun no matter what! :)
