My daughter took a trip...

My daughter is amazing. She's grown into a fearless woman. I was painfully shy much of my early  adult life. As a child, I was afraid to answer a question in school. It wasn't until university that I had any confidence.
Caitlin has her M.Sc., and a great job as a hydrogeologist. My kids are all in their 30s, she is my eldest, and I don't know where the time has gone!

Caitlin left for Vancouver – YVR (3350 km west of Ottawa –YOW). Then, went from there YVR => Taipei –TPE (9603 km – further west). I tracked her on TrackMyFlight.com. She left on Thursday, January 10th and arrived back in YVR Saturday, then home to YOW on Sunday.

West, across the ocean, then she came back, visiting her brother and family in Vancouver, about 13,000 km.

She made it! Her smart phone has an amazing camera.


She visited several temples. She had tea and soup.


What a whirlwind trip!
This is YVR.

She took two 'buddies' - one belonging to each of her girls. Yoo Hoo and Topsy.


Caitlin went up Taipei 101 tower. This is an interesting spot.

What a view. She also went up the Maokong Gondola.

Caitlin posted all of her photos on iPhoto, and the family, including extended family, were able to view them as she uploaded them. I've taken her photos, and created a book for her. It should arrive next week. I do this every time they take a trip, and this family does travel. They have a map on their dining room wall, with all the places they've visited flagged with a date.

Caitlin was back in YUL, for the 20-min. flight back to YOW. It was 10:30 and the restaurants were closed! Still, Pepper the robot turned up. One family eschewed said robot. Tired travelers, perhaps! It might have been a bit bizarre, though, with young kids.

Caitlin arrived back home a week ago. She is fighting flu this week, no fun. I'm happy she is home and safe!
