The End of the Luggage Nightmare...

Quick update before I begin my time as a tourist...
My luggage arrived safe and sound approximately 10 minutes after I posted last night. YIPPEE!!! I was so happy to see my clothes, have my pajamas, my glasses, etc. That was so nice.
Last night wasn't totally a source of frustration...it was great to get here and see where my sister, Amanda, and her husband, Doug are living (although it was late/dark by the time we got home!). In the 9 years that they have been married I have never visited them in their own home (they've come to mine) so it was a little bit weird for me the first few minutes. Not sure why but I got over that in a hurry! Amanda made homemade pizza for us for dinner and we found ourselves sitting down to it around 10:30 at night! While we ate we watched a super funny movie...from France. It was in French and had subtitles and was the funniest movie I have seen in a long while! I am going to rent it again when I get home because I have a few people in mind that need to watch it!! I am not one to recommend foreign films very often as I generally don't watch them but this one is one I'd consider owning. Not only is it funny but it speaks to how we think about others and treat others based upon stereotypes and misconceptions. It was well worth the time it took to watch it!
And so that ended day one of my time in Victoria...it all ended well...and I was able to go to sleep with peace in my heart knowing that everything was where it should be.
