Thanks for the friend add as well. Glad you liked the Grenadines, good weather and great beaches. A permanent view of the Rocky Mountains must be just as stunning :)
Thanks for the add! And you're right; it's great to find a fellow Canadian on this site. We should chat up sometime! (Preferably about something other than igloos, polar bears, beavers and maple syrup...) *grins*
