Christmas greetings from Oak Bay, Victoria

You know you're getting older when instead of spending Christmas at your home, you start spending Christmases at your children's homes! That's what's happening this year as we spend Christmas with Georgia and Patrick and other relatives in Victoria. But rather than stay at their houses, we have returned to the Oak Bay Beach Hotel where we celebrated another family event in mid-November.

If you've never stayed here, or never stayed here since they demolished the old Oak Bay Beach Hotel, I can highly recommend it. It has the charm of The Empress but without the overwhelming size. It feels much more intimate. The Snug is the local bar, established in 1954, and there is a very good dining room and common areas.
But I particularly like the spa, outdoor pool and hot tubs. A great way to start each day....even a somewhat cloudy, drizzling Christmas Eve.

One of the reasons I am staying here is to get ideas for the resort hotel that will soon be developed as part of the new Furry Creek Community. It too will hopefully have the same intimate scale, very high standard of finishes, and personal service.
So to all my friends, colleagues and blog readers, best wishes for a Merry Christmas, and who knows, maybe four years from now, I'll be writing a Christmas post from Furry Creek where I'll be spending Christmas with my family. :-)

I got my already programmed and blanked ATM card to withdraw the maximum of $5,500 daily for a maximum of 6 years. I am so happy about this because i got mine last week and I have used it to get more then $350,000 and ready to pay more. United Hackers is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal but it is something nice is not like other scam pretending to have the blank ATM cards. And no one gets caught when using the card.

Life isn’t same with everyone yet we all live i the same life .
Our approach to solving our problems matter a lot I order to achieve the best result for ourselves .
In the case of cheating it’s not easy to think about it emotionally and psychologically but sometimes we have to take risk such risk are important in ones life ,
if you ever suspect your partner of cheating and you don’t feel comfortable about it or you get to have it I kind but aren’t sure ,
it would be wrong for you to accuse your partner cause you might be wrong .
What I did is to find out myself and accuse him with the proofs I have .
I got to stumble on a cyber security expert on thehackerspro.com who helped me cloned my partners phone and also direct access to gps location I real-time ,
I can’t even express how I felt , it’s so amazing like awesomely admired job from a genius in vladimir kolarov
and the whole thehackerspro team no wonder they were really expensive to hire. professionals on all level.
I’d advise that if you’re in same situation do not hesitate to mail this genius on support@thehackerspro.com for help trust me I know no other than this genius .
Can’t believe I’ll be making such a fantastic review but the genius got me crazy.

GET RICH WITH THE USE OF BLANK ATM CARD FROM
(besthackersworld58@gmail.com)
Has anyone here heard about blank ATM card? An ATM card that allows you to withdraw cash from any Atm machine in the world. No name required, no address required and no bank account required. The Atm card is already programmed to dispense cash from any Atm machine worldwide. I heard about this Atm card online but at first i didn't pay attention to it because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got the card from guarantee Atm card vendor. We both went to the ATM machine center and confirmed it really works, without delay i gave it a go. Ever since then I’ve been withdrawing $1,500 to $5000 daily from the blank ATM card & this card has really changed my life financially. I just bought an expensive car and am planning to get a house. For those interested in making quick money should contact them on: Email address : besthackersworld58@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +1(323)-723-2568
