It is official. We are coming home. and I mean official in the sense that we bought tickets. We both fly in July 21 to Vancouver and then Dave will be flying out of Vancouver on the 14th of August. I am flying out of Charlottetown, PEI on the 31st of August. Dave and I decided that there was no way that we could afford to both go to Byron's wedding and have Dave go to his brother's wedding in November.

I am rather lucky because school starts on the 1st of September and technically I'm supposed to be back at work on the 18 of August for teacher's prep. Byron's wedding is on the 30th and there is no way that I can make it back to Hong Kong by the first day of school. Thankfully I am employed by one of the sweetest principals ever. She is letting me skip all of my prep weeks and letting me start school the 2nd of September. I managed to find a flight that leaves Charlottetown at 6am on the 31 st so I can make it to Hong Kong by the afternoon of the 1st and show up at school bright and early on the 2nd. Huzzah. I must really love you Byron and Susan!

I am also pretty excited that we managed to get killer deals. Dave's flight is only CAN$900 and mine is CAN$1500. When I flew to Hong Kong in 2003 I paid CAN$1300. So I think we are doing quite well.

I am so excited to be with you all I can hardly contain myself.
