I was in the midst of a post full of the little things that irk me about travelling to Vancouver (and the surrounding region) but frankly, I had a fine time, saw family, shopped, stayed in a lovely hotel, and (aside from some sinus congestion) we’re all perfectly healthy.
Unfortunately, not everyone had a great Christmas and one local family has been sideswiped in a big way by karma. Please go read about Baby Molly and consider donating to help them through what would be a crappy thing any time of year but has been amplified by the “joyous” season.
