Holidays on the beach

The following note from two loyal readers in Vancouver is one of many special greetings from expatriate Saultbies that SooToday.com is publishing over the holidays.

************************* Hello Saultites,

This was our first Christmas not in the Sault, and it just wasn't the same.

We are living in Vancouver now, and since Rebecca's working on the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the timing to get home with the Games only 46 days away just didn't work out.

We had a wonderful holiday, went down to the beach on Christmas Day, and snowshoeing in the mountains on Boxing Day.

We will be back next year!

- Brent Bouchard and Rebecca Cavanagh
