From August, 2010 through February, 2011, we had the opportunity to be in North America. A difficult situation was made a lot easier through staying at my sister Patty's house in Vancouver, and at my ski buddy Stu's condo in White Rock. Their generosity really meant a lot to us. We also bought a used car. It seemed like a good opportunity to visit family, ski at Whistler, and source boat parts to take back to Tahiti with us. So that is exactly what we did. We visted Kim's sister Rita in Washington, DC, our son Patrick and his family in New York, and our son Andy and his family in Loveland, Colorado. We had a big Christmas reunion with Patrick's family, Andy's family, and Mickey's family hosted by Mickey and Linda in Springfield, Missouri. It was great to spend some time with our four grand-daughters, who are growing up too fast. In addition, we attended our grandson Brandon's judo tournament in Vancouver, and skied two months at Whistler. We actually rented a small condo there (since our's is rented to someone else long-term), and it was great to spend time with our ski friends again.
