When you wear the gear or see the gear, report it....What can I say? I'm still jet-lagged and have time on my hands!


Date: 06/01/2005
Place: Greyhound Bus (woo hoo the fun!) Kamloops to Vancouver via Coquilhalla
Gear: Canuck Abroad Canvas Bag
Individual: Self, eating my last bag of cheezies, (until the next visit).

Date: 07/01/2005
Place: Vancouver International Airport
Gear: Canuck Abroad Canvas Bag (I sneakily made it my second carry on after keeping it folded up my official carry on bag.)
Individual: Self, in a not quite quite annoyed state, initially near gate 55, latterly near gate 70. Do the internal airport vehicles really need to beep incessently?

Date: 08/01/2005
Place: Frankfurt International Airport
Gear: As above, but with the handles tied together, ready for immediate placement in the overhead compartment.
Individual: self, jet lagged and spending 6 hours waiting for next flight.

Gear: As above
Individual: self, truly tired and initially stumbling for answer when asked where I teach. Luggage not searched.

Brenda,

That's fantastic I'm still waiting for my gear to arrive from the printers, I practically ordered one of everything.

When were you in Kamloops? I was in Kelowna just last week.

Hello Matt,

I spent Christmas and New Years in Kamloops. It was pretty good and it snowed on Christmas day. What more could I want?

Date: Who can remember?

Place: Sainsbury's, Stirling

Gear: Canuck Abroad canvas bag-packed full of overpriced and fattening crap that really shouldn't be eaten in the days so close to stuffing your face with a massive turkey dinner.

Individual: Myself full of overpriced fattening crap with bag turned outwards hoping someone would ask about it-didn't happpen this time but the quest continues.

Also:

Date: Sometime in December

Place; My front hallway

Gear: Canuck Abroad pants (yes the underwear kind) and vest.

Individual: Fellow Canuck Abroad, who shall remain nameless, lifting up clothing to show newly aquired gear.

Brenda, did you forget to mention another time when you had a gear sighting??

Date: December 5th, before my sign language class

Place: Michelle's front hallway

Gear: Canuck Abroad underwear and tank top

Individual: Myself, showing off my newly acquired kit, and picking up a Christmas cake for the inlaws. (In that order, not at the same time)

Note: The above sighting is one of a kind. Not so much sighting as... a "sight".

Consider yourself lucky.
I could have been dancing* as well.



*My dancing skills have made some laugh so hard, they wet themselves. Oh yes... I have talent!
