Leaving Vancouver

We spent the whole day today cleaning and packing. Jess came over to help, which we couldn't have done without. It was exhausting. In the evening my sisters, Mom, Dad, Nick, Amanda, Tudor, Emily and Jess came over for pizza and goodbyes. Although we really weren't finished getting ready to go, it was nice to have a break and see people. When it came time to say goodbye I got quite teary, but I'll get over it.

We didn't get far on our journey tonight, just to the Smolyn's in Surrey. Since our bed is packed up, we figured it would be more comfortable to sleep on their carpeted floor than our wood floor. Tomorrow we really start our trip.
