We are home

We hopped in a taxi at 5am yesterday and arrived home in Vancouver at 2pm (19 hours later). The trip home was absolutely painless. We flew back with Lufthansa and enjoyed the service they offer in business class, and the endless meals and drinks made the time fly by. By the time we reached Vancouver we were pretty bagged and today we feel like our heads aren't quite screwed on straight. Thank goodness we have another day before returning to work. Jess and I began our "new leaf" today by going to the gym and doing a big shop for nothing but vegetables (something our bodies haven't seen in 3 weeks). We both gained about 10 lbs on this holiday so there is some work that needs to be done on our part!!

Reflecting on our time in France we would have to say this was our best trip ever. We had both been to Paris a few times before and loved the city but we were surprised just how much we absolutely loved the entire country. Tourists complain about "the French" and their attitude and there is a bit of that in Paris but all of that completely disappears as soon as you leave the city. Everywhere we went the people we so friendly and also very tolerant of our lack of skill with the French language. It was very comfortable.

Of course our engagement there will forever make France have a special place in our hearts. I am sure it won't be too long before we are back in France again but before that we have a list of other countries we was to visit. We are currently in the early planning stages for next summer and hope to visit Singapore, Bali, and Hong Kong.

Thanks for following along. We enjoy writing the blog and it serves us a great journal of our travels. Until next time, Ryan and Jess

But definitively I found this site selling them for the benefit of half price. I absolutely like these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably order these. what can you tell me about these?

Someone deleted a variety of links from solidfiles and megaupload servers.

From now, we will use www.tinyurlalternative.com as our default [url=http://www.tinyurlalternative.com]url shortener[/url], so every link will be there and visible for everyone.

You can choose from many great [url=http://kfc.ms]short url[/url] names like:

kfc.ms easysharelink.info jumpme.info megauploadlink.info megavideolink.info mygamelink.info myrapidsharelink.info mytorrentlink.info myurlshortener.com mywarezlink.info urlredirect.info urlshrinker.info weblinkshortener.com youtubelink.info and many others.

They maintain over 60 other available domains and the [url=http://myurlshortener.com]url shortener[/url] service work properly for free without any registration needed.

So we think it is good idea and propose you to use [url=http://urlredirect.info]url redirect[/url] service too!
