VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

             THE MILLER'S ARE BACK!!

Brett, Rich and Sheri met me and the Ship in Vancouver and are joining for eight days of FUN!! 

                    We met up at the cruise terminal and rented City bikes, soaking up the sunshine and riding through the massive Stanley Park, then along the beaches and across a bridge to go over to the neighborhood of Granville Island.

Later after dinner, it was still light enough to walk downtown and see some more sights. What a great city,  with friendly people!

Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.

More FUN with the Elephants ! Washing this gentle creature was so special. The handlers at the Sanctuary are so informative and caring and took sooo many pictures for us!

MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
