Hey folks, I'll be heading down to Vancouver again, and hopefully this time I'll get a better response.

Well anyway, I'll be there from Aug 29 to Sept 6, but the first day I'm usually getting settled in and catching up on lost sleep, and the last day my mom and I are getting ready to leave, so anytime during Aug 30 and Sept 5 would be better.

My mom and I do plan on going to the PNE at some point during our visit, so I might be preoccupied with that on one day.

I don't have a car, but I do have my BC Transit Pass, which works in Vancouver also, but I would like to ask, if any one would be willing to accompany me, as I'm am not familiar with the routes outside #239-Cap U between the Holiday Inn on Old lilloeet, and Park Royal Mall.

Need to get a hold of me?, 250-574-3120 (cell) or direct message me on twitter if you got one ( bigjonesb - It's the one with the Audi R8 pic), Hope to hear from someone. Unfortunately my 3 year old cell is the only thing readily available, and it can't do a whole lot.

Thank you for the read. and might see you soon

There is a bunch of stuff happening while you are here ... there is a hike on the 2nd ... sushi on the 4th ... games night on the 30th ... LOTS to do! Would be good to see  you at any of these events. Don't be shy

Well if anyone would like to see me at any of the events, just let me know through twitter or text message (only thing my phone can access, yeah, I know I need to upgrade), you can just I just feel better actually being invited, instead just walking in.

-Edit: I forgot I can check this site out on my phone albeit very slowly, so yeah just leave a message on here.

Just remember to leave me enough time to arrive, seeing as I will be using the bus stops at the Holiday Inn across from Superstore near Cap U.

Just a quick reminder, I'm open schedule to Wed, although, i would like to be back 'home' by 11pm, so nothing too late.

And I would like to thank the Sept 2nd hike group for inviting me, and helping me out, I wasn't expecting to fall apart so bad towards the end, so again, thanks

Well, today is the trip back home, but I would like to say thank you to those of you who made me feel welcome. Special thanks to Gizmo, for the initial welcome, which got things going for me.

Hopefully next time I'm down here on the coast, I'll get to know more of you. It was nice to meet some new faces from outside of my home group. I guess it's 'See ya later' until next time I'm down, which means it might not be until my mom and I come down to visit my family member again around late spring/early summer 2013, unless something unexpected brings me down sooner.

Safe trip home ... hopefully this hike isn't uphill all the way!!

Well, I made it home okay. Glad I got to come out to some of the events down there, I enjoy spending time with my group, but it is fun to see what other groups do, hopefully I get more involved when i'm down there next time
