Last weekend me and an american pilot went to Vancouver, as he had not seen the city yet. After looking at the marina of Stanley park, we grabbed a quick bite at Blenz and walked around Robson street, sniffing up the atmosphere (the day wasn't too good sunshine-wise, but a day away from home is better than nothing).
We then proceeded to have pizza at a pretty fancy place on Robson Street called Cin Cin. Wood fired oven made for a superb thin crusted pizza. Add a nice glass of
wine to that ('05 Okanagan Pinot Noir) and a nice comfy cruise home and they day didn't have to be any more than that.
Flying is still done every day, usually I end going up first in the morning (takeoff around 08.00 local). We keep adding in new exercises (sloping ground, advanced takeoffs, soon some radio work too) so that's loads of fun. I'm creeping up on 20 dual flight hours soon and it doesn't really feel like it's been 6 weeks.
Job-wise I'm doing as much as I can right now, which isn't really much except the extra-curricular studying I'm doing. You can't really get a job if you haven't got the actual Commercial pilot's certificate yet. It's like going for a job interview and going like "Um yeah, well, I'd like to start out here, I don't have my certificate just yet, but can you give me the job anyways ?". It doesn't really add up.
Check flickr for pictures of Stanley park and Vancouver along with some other pictures (of me) soon.
In summary for me the following pretty much describes my current view of things:
Time is of the essence, that's why you have to seize every moment.

Looks like you've really settled in now haven't you? Good to hear (read) that you've made some aquaintances to pass time with outside schoolhours, I bet that really helps at feeling more 'at home'.
As I (and many others with me) expected it seems you're doing a truly fine job there in the land of Bigfoot! Keep it going Ace!!
