Well my our trip to sac is off and Susan is off to Boise for her fathers surgery. We were awaiting test to see if they could operate or not and they can. Lung cancer, so part of one lung is coming out along with some lymph nodes. Non small cell type. Lets hope for the best and I will be posting the updates from here on. ( lord helps us)

There is an exhibition at the Royal BC Museum called "Vikings: Lives Beyond the Legends". I've heard it is exceptional. Very close to the marina.

That is great to hear. We really like visiting that museum for its natural history exhibit. It is only a short 5 to 10 minute walk from the docks. Every thing is very close in down town.

There are also I max theater in the museum.

Also worth considering (I have not been there yet myself) is Craigdarroch Castle, which appears to be about 2 miles via various bus lines from the Empress.

Hi, Well Susan is back and all is going well with her father or as best as can be expected. They ended up removing his whole left lung. Tumor was the size of a baseball and attached to two ribs, one front and one back, which they also removed. No sign of cancer in the lymph nodes yet but not all test are complete. Looks like a oxygen tank is in Dads future but he is already walking short distances ( to the hall and back).

We have reservation at a Milestones Grill and Bar at 812 Wharf Street. We have three tables of 10 booked at 815 pm. thanks to Dorothy of Paddle-2t. She stepped in when we needed it and found us a place for the Friday night dinner. Thank you very much Dorothy for helping out. Very Happy
