A Beautiful Day on the West Coast - It's Home

One of the things I love about traveling is getting to know different cultures, people and they way they live.   I also get to try the local's foods and way of life.  But I find traveling is so good for the soul because it makes me appreciate where I live and who I am.

This last week, I was fortunate to make a trip down to Houston Texas to visit a client.  The weather was warm and sunny, very different from the West Coast of Vancouver Canada.  It was a nice break from the rain actually.  I love the foods in Houston and the people were friendly and polite in their Southern charm kind of way.  There were some stereotypical things like every where I went I could hear country music and smell of BBQ sauce and smoke as soon as I stepped out of my hotel.  I enjoyed my break so much and look forward to return and meet my charming client, Anne, who is as sharp as a whip.

However, landing in YVR was a feeling of peace and comfort, the kind you feel when you reach your door step at home.  And no matter where I go in the world, I always love coming home.  I tend to think of it as the love of my life, so familiar, so comforting and so happy.

Greetings from the West Coast.
