Our spring holiday began on April 9th, as Hilary and I flew from Vancouver to London for a three days before continuing on to Lisbon. There, we met Naomi, who has been in Limerick, Ireland since January finishing up her 4th year of university as an exchange student. The timing for her to join us was perfect. She finished classes just prior to her departure, and, although she had several papers to write before completing her term, it was wonderful Naomi was been able to join us. We returned to Vancouver on the evening April 23rd after a great trip exploring new places and visiting family in London and Manchester.
