Mrs. L and I will be travelling to Vancouver this weekend, and to say that I am pumped is a dramatic understatement. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Vancouver, it is quite a bit like the "Promised Land" referred to in the Bible or the land they talk about in the Mr. Happy book from the Mr. Men series. It is a place where everyone is friendly, even the cats and dogs have great smiles on their faces, just because they *live* there!!!   Milk and honey do not fall from the sky each morning in Vancouver but lobster and crab definitely do.

I could go on for pages about "Van", but the reason I am posting this is that I am just finalized part of our itinerary for this trip, and on Saturday night, Mrs. L and I are going here for dinner.   Probably for omakase!!!

If you're doubting me when I tell you that Vancouverites live in a state of perpetual ecstacy, just *look* at this guy on the home page of this restaurant. Have you ever seen a man as cherubic as this? This is the face of a man who has conquered his demons. The face of a man who fought hard, loved hard, and lived hard to get to Vancouver, and now laughs at the thought of living somewhere else!!

*sigh* Ah, Vancouver...your sushi chefs never fail to inspire me to new heights of valor!

If I was an existing Little Miss character, which one would I be? Little Miss Chatterbox? Little Miss Sunshine? Little Miss Late? Hrm. One of life's interesting questions ;)

I have heard of this place before. How's the omakase works? Do you have to let them know before hand how much you are going to spend for that night? Imagine seeing the bill after you have eaten all the stuff the chef made. Washing dishes anyone?

Have a great trip, guys!

Hope it's warmer over there.

Obviously you've never been to Salt Spring Island. Now *that* is paradise! It's a stone's throw away from Vanc, you guys should check it out if you get the chance!
