The roads I take...

So, I'm back from my Summit+vacation Canada/USA tour, after the long bus ride from Whistler to Vancouver I'm sure you heard about or were on, I spent another week in the lower Fraser Valley (i.e. the almost flat land between Vancouver and Chilliwack and the Western half of Washington state. I took lots of walks, did a huge amount of sightseeing, had a very good time and took over a thousand pictures, a selection of which I will upload to my site some time in the next few weeks.
I still need to catch up on email, bugs, planet and newsgroups even though a glanced over most of the email at nights in the hotels (thanks to Best Western for having free Internet on all their hotels!) - but there's so much going on in our community that I probably need some time to be fully back to normal.

Oh, and I didn't even do a Status Update for the week before the Summit...

Well, I'm even planning on catching up on that.

So, apparently, a laundry trunk crashed into the hotel's power transformator and that's why I needed to shower almost in the dark, after getting the message yesterday that a rockslide causes our trip to Vancouver being about 5 hours longer than expected.
When I had showered, I turned on my N810 though and it promptly connected to wifi (which was running on emergency power apparently), so I knew we were still alive. Losing wifi probably would have been much more fatal to this community than losing power in the rooms.

Let's just see what happens tonight when we have dinner on the top of the mountain and tomorrow when we're traveling the long route back - right through a place called "Hell's Gate"...
