We're in Edmonton celebrating 143 years of independence (from you know who) and the Queen has joined us in Canada, although she is getting more press coverage and isn't spending the equivalent of four whole days driving in a rented Toyota Corolla.
Talking of cars you may have read an earlier comment from Peter about registration plates. What started off as a mild amusement to see how far some people travelled to tourist sites in Canada ended up in an "Eye Spy" tick off sheet trying to get as many different US state registered cars. By the last day in Jasper we would cruise along our favourite street where most of the foreign cars rested up for coffee and muffins. We'd even walk the extra distance if we saw a plate we didn't recognise. So this is it, a year of travelling, broadening our horizons and we're plate spotters!

bless you, you were already plane spotters, and cruise boat stoppers so you're just progressing to the next level.
We did also note the series numbers of the shinkansen in Japan to make sure we got on the fastest, does this count as being anoraks?
complete anoraks, but then just noticed my earlier typo, not sure you qualify as "boat stoppers"!!
I had wondered what we had done to qualify as stoppers!! We didn't even get off in Victoria after all! But I did have an iamge of me trying to hold up the Pearl as it was parked at the end of the high street at Skagway after my run.
