My new best travelling companion: Google City Walking Tours

My SFU pal Steve Ray tipped me to this little bit of travel goodness: you can now use Google to plan your city walking tour in Canada or further afield.
It’s free, fun and ridiculously simple: just plug in a starting address at citytours.googlelabs.com, select your dates and bingo–you’ve got the first draft of your tour [...]

Unlocked and loaded once again

Well that was fun…not.
With a little technical help from my friends (thanks Brad, Josh and Rebecca), I’m back into my boots again.
Someone messaged me to say that being hacked was a form of flattery. Whatever: next time just send chocolate…

Congratulations to Ella De Torres, winner of the Abigail’s Party Dine Out Prize

Sorry about the delayed announcement friends–my father-in-law’s been very sick–but I wanted to let you know that Ella De Torres of Vancouver won the $75 gift cert draw to Abigail’s Party in Kitsilano last week.
Thanks to all who entered.
I’d be interested to hear more of your Dine Out Vancouver experiences here–any surprises? disappointments? don’t-misses? Please share!
