A Short trip: British Columbia, Canada

I have a Canadian friend who kindly invited me to join her on a 2 week camping trip of her province, British Columbia. Plans weren't set in concrete, but a ferry on the inside passage was booked and we were travelling in a clockwise direction from her city, Victoria.

In summary, the trip was fantastic, but the weather was unkind, wet and rather cold for summer. I will blog this in parts... here goes.

An update... before I do some travel blogging

I broke things off with the man who managed to get me to stay in Australia last November. Nothing terrible, it just wasn't working out for me. I also changed job at the same time. I now work for a tour company with awesome itineraries, but I still constantly wonder if I should stay or go. Staying isn't for-filling any great  urge within me, nor is it giving me the time to pursue any of my non-travel interests. I just returned from a 16 day trip in Canada, on which I am about to blog. Travel inspires me to do more travel... so maybe I will feel more settled in another month.

I've been slack (not writing)

Huh, well I did say I would keep writing, and then I didn't. It is almost 3 months since I last wrote!
   Good news! I am going travelling this weekend! Ok, so the trip is domestic, up to Cairns, but the more I research it the more I wish I was spending more than 4 nights there. I will be taking a trip out on the reef, and in to Kuranda, and I'll probably hire a car too. And I am quite excited!
   Then, when I get back I will be planning my next trip.... my feet are itching to get moving, but I have committed myself to remain employed for now.

How's the new job?

This is just an update,  
   After 2 weeks of training, this week I got into a store and started selling travel... well, trying to sell travel... but it is a highly competitive industry and not half as easy as booking a trip online yourself. But yes, we can beat the online prices, and give awesome advice. I'm feeling very lost in the job at this point, but I know I will get my head around it.

   My beau took himself back to the hospital 5 days after the accident and got the xray re-examined and then they noticed it was broken and have now operated and put a wire in it. He is still in a lot of pain, so I am doing my best to look after him.

Pfaffers, (those things that periodically squirt out)

   There seems to be a growing trend behind putting automatic squirters on walls. First it was the occasional bathroom wall that had a device that periodically squirted a dose of chemical (air freshener). And then it was the automatic bug sprayers that were installed on walls.

   I really detest the concept. I have always been of the opinion that the use of chemicals such as air fresheners and bug sprays is unlikely to be good for ones health, and the idea of periodic squirtings, regardless of need, seems ridiculous.

   My brother has one of the later (auto bug squirter) installed. He tells me it's ok, it's pyrethrum, it's natural. Well, poisonous snake venom is also natural but I don't want it in my system. And, aren't all the pollens and grasses natural (dear hayfever sufferers)?
