Duravan left Fredericton at about 1:30pm on the 29th of April 2000 and slowly made it's way
across the country; stopping in every major city along the way. During the first 10 minutes of
the trip the van started to shake. I think the conversation went a little something like this:
Mitch: "What the hell is that?"
Geoff: "I dunno, it's never done that before"
Jackie: hmmmmm
Mitch: "Should we pull over and get it looked at"
Geoff: "No, just keep going...it'll be ok, I think it's just a tire"
Somewhere outside of Winnipeg the tire blew and we waited for the tow truck cause the jack
wouldn't fit under the van. We brought the mattress out into a hay field and chilled cause
it was about 23 degrees

We were on the road for about 4 days and we were on about our 8th hour of driving for the day:
Somewhere in Minnesota...
Geoff: I think we missed our f#%@ing exit!
Mitch: No we didn't, I think it's right up here.!
Geoff: No man, I'm positive we missed our turn and now god knows where we're going to end up!!
Mitch: I'm looking right at the map and we didn't!!!
Geoff: F$%#, whatever!!!!!!
No more than 2 minutes later our exit appeared...guess who felt like a moron?

Vancouver BC,
We're sitting in the living room of our house, which by the way is the ugliest thing
you've ever seen...check it out. We're just watching TV, not making any noise, when all of a sudden we hear our
psycho room mate come out of her room (her door had these super annoying chimes so we could tell whenever
she came out of her room). She stomps downstairs, and with her shirt wide open and no pants on(not something anybody
wants to see), stands in the doorway and:
Fabienne yells with her French accent: Are you two going to shet up, you fink I can't heah yu?
Geoff in disbelief and disgust: Shutup??
And with that, she hobbled back up the stairs

Tofino BC,
Geoff, Mitch and Nicola are on a surfing trip...Mitch is on the top bunk and Geoff and Nicola are on
the bottom.
I think Mitch hears some "noises"!
Mitch: Bursts out into laughing
Geoff: Pauses....snickers... "What?"
Mitch: "Sorry man..." and he continues to laugh
Geoff: Can't help but start laughing
Nicola: Didn't say a word
Man did Geoff ever feel bad for her...

We got a job at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club almost as soon as we arrived. One of our co-workers
was an Aussi with some issues (Nick)...
Nick: "Hey fellas, I just went for a swim off the end dock!"
Geoff: "Oh yea?"
Nick: "Yeih mate, I just did a 360 off the top rail!"
Mitch: "Don't you mean a front flip?"
Stupid Aussie's
