Back to China We Go!

Hi Everyone,

This is a quickie last-minute post to say good-bye and thanks for a great summer! It's now Friday afternoon and we have just returned to North Van from a great week at Barnabas Family Camp on Keats Island with my (Corinna's) family. It was a total blast and very relaxing as we played tennis, went waterskiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, sailing, and spent lots of time with my family. Plus we had awesome sunny weather, which is useful when sleeping in a tent.

We are flying back to Shanghai this Sunday morning (August 24th). Our boss booked us on Air Canada, which I'm a wee bit nervous about after hearing plenty of horror stories about their service, etc recently. O well... it's only a 12-hour flight... what can go that wrong?

The picture above is from earlier this month when we went to Andrew's cousin's wedding in Iowa. It was such a great time, and nice for me to meet all the extended Nairns from South Africa whom I'd never met before.

Just a heads up that Blogger is still blocked in China (so my sources tell me), so this blog may not be updated all that often. If that's the case, I'll try to send email updates instead, or look for another free blog provider that's NOT blocked there. I will keep you posted.

I just flew Air Canada from Sydney to Vancouver - beautiful. I too was VERY skeptical before I left, but very impressed by the end...but I'm sure by now you already have your opinion formed from your flight experience....look forward to perhaps seeing you guys.
