So, that's it! It seems like it was over a year ago since we posted our first entry from the Kokanee Car on VIA 1. Needless to say, a lot has happened since then...
We touched down in Toronto early Monday morning (this time we opted for the 4-hour plane ride) still on a high from witnessing one of the most exciting hockey games in recent memory amongst friends and fellow Canadians on the sun-drenched streets of Vancouver. The perfect end to a perfect trip.
These last two weeks have provided us with memories that neither one of us will soon forget. From the train ride across this great country to being on the mountain in Whistler watching the women take gold and silver in the bobsleigh final... and everything else in between. Its been one heck of an adventure!
O Canada.

If you really like him, you can find him on twitter @LaneAndrew, where he won't try nearly as hard to be funny as he does on this blog. Trust me. http://twitter.com/LaneAndrew
