Great to hear from you guys. Am very happy that Ryan
had such a good time at camp, and that you mastered wake boarding. What
an accomplishment! I am so proud of you. The activities at Deerhurst are
always amazing and I'm happy that each is having fun and finding one's that
work.
Ross, I'm happy that you are Seadoing. The machines
look amazing. If you drive them half as well as you drove the boat at
Sunny Point you will have no problem. I'm just wondering though, if you
need a drivers course to drive them (lol). They can be lots of fun, but too, go
very fast, so you will have to be aware of other people on the water.
Perhaps you can sing to yourself, as your driving, some of those 80 songs
that that the troupe performs at the lodge (lol). In any event, I know that you
will drive really well and have lots of fun doing it.
Hopefully, you guys will climb the iceburg today and if you
do so, please climb one for me and jump in the water from the top. That
was one of my favorite activities at Deerhurst and I enjoyed being on
the top of it, looking around, and seeing all the neat things you can do.
It was always fun racing both you guys up and resting together on the
top. I'm sure that you will have a wonderful time. Please take
pictures and we can compare notes upon my return.
There's a 12 hour difference btw Canada and China so now it
would be approx 1:10 am China time. We are 12 hours ahead, so the
communication differences can be challenging. Last night, we toured the
school, it's big, private and beautiful and had a special dinner at our hotel
in a private dinner hall with the principal, 2 vice principal, and a
representative from the school board. It was very formal, with all of us,
including 2 Chinese students who we taught at Glendale this year, sitting in
this very special private room, eating amazing Chinese food and
toasting one another. Dad gave a toast, as did many others, but
likely our Chinese friends had very little awareness of what I said.
Perhaps that was not such a bad thing!
We are being greeted today by many dignitaries at the
school, so will have to be at my best. It certainly is a cultural
experience and I'm learning lots, yet I know that I would be having loads of
fun with you guys and would enjoy all the activities at the resort and would
have enjoyed hanging out with you.
Have a wonderful day and a swim for dad.
All my love dad xoxo

Hi Greg,
Happy to hear you arrived safely. The city you are in sounds amazing and very friendly, what an adventure. As always your writing style is easy to read and entertaining; who knows, you may end up writing travel journals!
The kids and I are at Deerhurst now,picked Ryan up from camp and he looks great. He had a super time and he is very tanned, telling us about his adventures. The temperature is about the same, 31 degrees (lol). Kids went water skiing and wake boarding yesterday, they make it look so easy; they definitely have your athletic ability. I took pictures and will try to send them to you when I get back.
I have my computer so will encourage kids to reply often so you can keep in touch. If you want to skype just let me know so we can arrange. Not sure what the time difference is so if you can let us know that would be great.
Wishing you lots of fun and safe travels.
