Oh, I'm definitely real.

Here, I'll even do what I can to help prove it. Anyone out there by chance in Vancouver? I will be there Monday morning, arriving at the harbour. Will be taking one of those little 6 person puddle jumpers that fly from Nanaimo to downtown Vancouver.

This is the first time I've travelled blind and alone like this, and I've only lived in Canada for 1 year since 2005, so don't really know anyone. I'll be more than happy to buy you dinner or even just pay you money in exchange for letting me borrow your eyes for a bit.
