Another Amazing E&A Grand Canyon Trip!

Where to start.  A saying I  use often when explaining the relationships that happen with Events & Adventures, is “fast friends”.  We meet people everyday but when you get to live and experience like things with a small group of people, it’s amazing the bond that develops. Meeting amazing new friends in Vegas, who knew that we would grow close and never want the trip to end.   We cruised the strip on Thursday night and then headed for an unforgettable charter plane ride to the Bar 10 Ranch. Horseback rides, skeet shooting, an ATV adventure, literally I rode back at night with no headlights...a cowboy show and sleeping under the stars. Up early for a helicopter ride into the canyon to catch our raft.  In just 24 hours some of us had so many firsts.  A true testament to the trip of a lifetime, “bucket list” adventure.  3 days in the magnificent canyon with the greatest people, hiking and taking rapids, with endless laughter and friendship.  It’s been a shock to come  back to the lives that we live after such an awesome trip and vacation that was only 5 days long but a lifetime of conversation and memories.  ...AMAZEBALLS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!

Camping On Gambier Island With Good Friends......

I hope everyone had fun

weekend. Mine was filled with some productive and relaxing Camping on Gambier Island with great friends. Nothing beats good food and great company !! I have to say we started off with Rum Punch which was STRONG and tasty. Latona is an island summer camp within easy reach from Vancouver and Squamish.
Activities like Kayaking , Zip-lining , swimming offers fun progressive initiatives filled with challenges and confidence. Our hike was great with interesting view of lake Gambier below the mountain. This was achieved through teamwork , increase decision-making and problem solving skills to locate our position. We later joined friends at the camp-fire with laughs getting to know each other. Engaging in active conversations improves our communication skills with friends. Ambrea lead the way by self introduction and welcoming everybody..... Job well done !!!
Our fun trip sadly came to an end when we boarded our Boat With Captain Chris in the cockpit. We wanted to stay longer on the Island but it was time to go home.....

10 Ways E&A Will Change Your Life....#1

New Blog Series ” 10 Ways E&A Will Change Your Life”

1. FEEL LIKE A KID

        When you are a kid making friends is easy.  You are constantly around other people in sports, school, your neighborhood, summer camp, cousins/family, band, church etc… that you constantly are able to talk and meet and play with people your age and of similar interests.  We take that, along with a million other things, for granted when we are young.  When we are adults and we move cities or become suddenly single for the first time in a long time we can feel very alone; sometimes for the first time ever.  Commute, work, eat, sleep-repeat becomes “life.”  That isn’t LIFE as we know it in E&A.  Every day offers a new adventure to us.  Every weekend is new chance to explore, be creative, to love people, to like, to fail, to get back up, to test my limits, to find my strengths, to face my weaknesses to meet new people and most importantly find out new things about ourselves.  E&A might make you feel like a kid again when we do fun things like Trampoline Dodgeball, Cosmic Bowling, High Ropes Course, Go Karting and other things…you might feel like a kid again but you will most certainly FEEL ALIVE again.

Stay tuned for 2-10 in Future Blog Posts, in the meantime lets get out there and have some fun!

Another AMAZING Whistler Trip!

For the 18^th year in a row E&A headed north and took over Whistler for American Thanksgiving weekend.  When the party bus arrived on Thursday, the 28^theveryone was greeted with a fantastic and filling traditional Thanksgiving feast complete with homemade pies.  This kicked off the party weekend as the group descended on Buffalo Bills for a night of dancing.  While the weather was not totally cooperative, that did not keep the skiers off the mountain as they were there when the wheels began to turn in the morning.

Both days Jodie was hard at work in the kitchen creating fresh baked goods for breakfast and hosted après skies for everyone in the afternoon along with Rob as her co-host.  Members got to compare stories of what they did during the day while also planning for evening dinners and activities.  All too soon it was Sunday and time to head home to the states (or back to Vancouver). Another great trip to the great white north!

Annual Whistler Ski Trip Is Back!

 Can't wait to hang out with over 40 of my E&A friends on the 18th Annual Events and Adventures Whistler Ski Trip. We will be leaving on Thanksgiving, but will get there in time for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with our E&A family. We will be staying in the Village for easy access to Chairlifts and Gondolas for some AWESOME skiing during the day and all the nightlife at night! We let you know how it all turns out, but if it is anything like past years there will be much to talk about!
