I'm spending a gorgeously indulgent morning in bed with the laptop, planning our summer of travelling around Canada.

The current plan (and they change regularly) is to fly to Ottawa, spend a few days there, then fly on to Calgary, and spend a few days there before driving into the Rockies. We'll visit Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, drive the Icefields Parkway, then head down into British Columbia and take a scenic route through lots of towns/villages - Radium Hot Springs, Nelson, Nakusp, Kelowna - and then drive on to Vancouver. After a couple of days in Vancouver (timed to see the massive fireworks festival we saw last time) we'll float-plane across to Victoria (on Vancouver Island) for a few days, then head back to spend my 27th Birthday in Vancouver, staying there for a few more days.

We'll be away for a month... and I am SO excited. We need to sort out somewhere for Toby to stay... there's a good 'bunny boarding' place not far from here, which we're hoping to visit in a few weeks.

It's all very exciting!
