After a bumpy start, I finally managed to get to my hotel in Niagara-On-The-Lake where I am attending a sales conference for work. I thought I had the perfect plan. Take a mid-day flight, arrive in the early evening, enjoy someone else driving me to the Niagara region, make arrangements for some Sunday sightseeing.
Right.
Have you ever been to North Bay, Ontario? I have..... crazy electrical storm activity caused a diversion of my flight and made for me arriving at my hotel at around 12:30 a.m. in the pitch black and regretting the fast food chicken burger I'd eaten as a last resort for dinner.
But today is a fresh new beginning. I have until 5:00 p.m. to visit the falls and take in some of Niagara's amazing wineries... that is if I can find some form of transportation. I've called 3 places so far with no luck whatsoever. It seems all the tourists in the area had the same idea as me.
It's killng me. The sun is shining and I was ready to roll at 0800 and now it's 10:20 and I'm still looking for a ride.
Maybe Niagara Falls will always be just a picture in a magazine. Sigh.

Annual FFC Garage Sale
Well, we managed to hold our 3rd Annual FFC Garage Sale and this was definitely our most successful.
I would like to send out a big thank you to everyone from the Vancouver Fundraising Group who generously donated so many items. I would also like to express sincere appreciation to my family and friends for once again cleaning out the closets. I'll be back next year!!
We had a wide variety of items for customers to choose from (no we weren't camping - these tents were part of the sale).
Our garage sale attendees were also very generous and we received a number of "on the spot" donations by way of additional sale items as well as financial ones.
We had a great day and then treated ourselves by taking advantage of the fantastic sights Galiano Island has to offer including:
Enjoying Sarah's Garden
Walking the Dogs
Enoying the Sun and Surf
Levor was just happy to have his garage back to normal...
Thanks again everyone.
