Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 It is very beautiful up around here, too. On New Years Eve, I went with friends and walked around Butchart Gardens. They decorate it sooo beautifully for Christmas. Millions of lights all around. Quite spectacular Where do you live, -- [ ] Mauritius I'm coming with you, ! Get ready for visitors, Heidi. I've been to Vancouver just once, but it made a wonderful impression, . Re: [ ] Heidy -- My bags are packed! What a gorgeous country! I loved looking at all the pictures. What's the market like for speech pathologists??? The climate is very appealing. I can see why it is such a popular tourist destination. I live on an island, too. Vancouver Island off the west coast of Canada. Part of the province of British Columbia. I looked up the stats for comparison. You are 720 square miles -- I'm 2,136 square miles. Your populations is 1.2 million; mine in 1996 was 652,000. So lots more people on lots smaller space for you. Is Port Louis the biggest city? Only city? Are there lots of smaller towns/villages? Probably lots of sugar cane farms? I always loved the Dodo bird :-( Thanks so much for sending me that information. I love learning about new places. Not boring in the slightest!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 Happy New Year! I’ve been very quiet lately - a lurker mostly I’ll have to admit! I read most messages to keep up with what’s been happening. I’m maintaining at this point, so I just go about my daily activities (real estate, kids school activities and keeping the kids & animals fed!) I enjoyed hearing (and looking at the website!)about Mauritius, Heidi and hearing about Butchart Gardens during Christmas, . I live in Arlington, WA (about 2 hrs S of Vancouver), so one of these days I really want to head up to Vancouver Isl and see Butchart Gardens (maybe during lilac season!!) Anyway, hope you all had a good day and as free of pain as possible! Elly [ ] Mauritius I'm coming with you, ! Get ready for visitors, Heidi.

I'm from Washington State originally. Got my first speech job in Manitoba, Canada, 20+ years ago. Stayed there 3 years and then moved to . Wonderful place to live. Small world :-) And the internet has made it even smaller!! -- [ ] Mauritius I'm coming with you, ! Get ready for visitors, Heidi.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 Where do you live now, June? My plans are to retire in about 8 years. I'll enjoy the time but not the decrease in money! Am hoping I'll have my mortgage paid off by then. And no doubt my daughters will be fabulously wealthy by then and will help support their Ma! (Assuming they graduate high school :-) It is a gorgeous area around here. Nice mix of mountains and ocean. I've been bike riding a lot these last couple years. The scenes we come across are just breathtaking. Sometimes ride along the waterfront with sailboats all over, Olympic Mountains in the background. Unbelievably beautiful. Hope you'll be able to visit again someday. -- [ ] Mauritius I really enjoyed looking at all the information on Mauritius,thanks for sharing this with us Heidi. ,when I was working,I was in Vancouver at least once a month and loved my trips there.That is one of the biggest things I miss about being retired since I can no longer afford to travel on my own money LOL.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 Heidi, I so enjoyed pictures of your home. It was like a virtual vacation to paradise! I hope Day 2 of the Great Smoke-free Mission is going well. Much love and many hugs, Carol [ ] Judi Hi Judi, Sorry you are not well today, please make sure you rest an take care of yourself, as we are always reminding each other - you are immune suppressed so need extra tender loving care. I'm so glad Ron is looking after you well and spoiling you, it's obvious he loves you to bits. Here are a few links I found on Mauritius, (you'll need to copy and paste them onto your browser I think) I hope you enjoy them: http://www.servihoo.com/channels/photogallery/ http://www.ile-maurice.com/countryinfo/index.php Pictures of Mauritius http://photos.moris.org/ I'm not too sure what the exact time difference would be from where you are but it's rather large. About 12 hours ahead of West USA and about 9 hours ahead of East USA. So when I'm working you're sleeping and when you wake up I'm ready for bed :-) Sending you mugs of virtual chicken soup and big (((((((hugs))))))))) Heidi _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
