It's official... I'm off to the UN-Habitat World Urban Forum III in June. The forum is being co-hosted by the government of Canada and the UN, and will be held in Vancouver. I was already very excited to have the opportunity to go to this event, but just recently discovered that the lovely Raffaella will be able to join me for the entire week! Life just keeps getting better.

I am also excited to be able to spend some time in Vancouver. You'd think that being raised on Salt Spring Island for 18 years would have led to familiarization with the closest real city, but alas that is not the case, and my visits since childhood have been brief and can probably be counted on only slightly more than one hand. Westward ho!
