Dec 30/2009 - Jan 02/2010 New Years Special 自分が思ったよりも寒くないが、寒さでカメラが凍った。 (ズームレンズが凍って元に戻らない…) 食事はうまい。部屋は清潔で暖かい。 4匹の犬で走ったのは素晴らしい。 問題は①英語が駄目②オーロラを見ることができなかった。 しかし、時間が許せば来たいです。

Dezember 30/2009 – Jan. 02/2010 New Years Special Dear Frank , Sylke and Akane We have a memorable 2 years holiday. The dog sledding was breathtaking, snowmobile was teriffic and hot tub at minus 30C was wounderful. We can’t ask for more , for all your considerate arrangements. Thanks very much again for the hospitality and hope that we can return for holidays again. Raymond & Gordon Vancouver - Hong Kong

Dezember 30/2009 – Jan. 02/2010 New Years Special Wow , what a great New Year. We had so much FUN. Below 30C. So what !!! Hope you all have a great 2010 and all your plans go good. I think we are going to have to come back and see you all again. SLAINTE , Manuel Delgado This was AWESOME !!! We went dog mushing and played in the snow. My favorite part was the toboganning. It was fast, fun and cold. My mum and dad and I went down the montain in a canoe..... TWICE ! Nita Delgado Hey Guys, thanks for a faboulos time. Akane you have the right idea..... woofing around the world. Frank & Sylke thank you for welcoming us into your home. Hopefully you will visit Oz sometime so we can return your generous hospitality. So I can do minus 30's + plus 30's ,how cool.........Back to been an adult after all the fun kid stuff. ...... Siobhan Delgado

Dear Frank , Sylke, Akane Thank you very much for all the memories – I am thinking of all the great meals, the snowshoeing , dog sledding, the pleasant chats around the living room after dinner and espicially hot crazy slapjack card game ! Spoons card game that wake the house............! Tucker and Kira , it was a lot of fun. I also really enjoyed the hot tub, sooking in the hot water in minus celsius weather in the middle of winter – outside – is awesome, to be topped only if the aurora borealis was dancing overhead and dogsledding was unforgetable for me. I feel like I haven’t seen enough of the Yukon, and I love to come back someday, winter or summer now that I had a taste of it!! Best wishes for the New Year Chelia Chan, Vancouver / Boston

Dezember 27 -30/2009 Dear Frank , Sylke and Akane I’ve had so much fun and execitement in a short amount of time at your lovely home, and I can’t express how thankful I am for such an experienc !! Dogsledding was amazing and I’d lve to do it again and again. It’s too bad we didn’t get a chance to go ice fishing this time but I 'll be back. Just keep the fish fat for now. Summer in theYukon must also be an adventure as well. Though Whitehorse is small to compare to Vancouver, everyone is friendly and the natural enviroment still remains pure and undisturbed. I hope to return one day in the future for hiking and canoeing. Hope you all have a gret New Year and a very prosperous 2010. Thank you !! Betty Chen , Vancouver

Dezember 27 - 30/2009 Dearest Sylke, Akane an Frank !! Thank you for the enjoyable stay at your home. It is lovely ! The Yukon is awesome and a memorable experience.

Thank you for taking me to the hospital (to look for a job) I will continue to look for the lights. Hope to see you again. Kathy, Vancouver

Dezember 27 - 30/2009 To the wonderful hosts of the Mt. Lorne Aurora B&B. We had an amazing time at your hospitable place ! The scheduled. activities worked very well in terms of timing & dog sledding was absolutely unforgetable ! Please pass our thanks (once again) to Marcelle. Your meals were simply delicious. Now the bar is raised and I have to start cooking as well at home for Adelina. We’ll miss Yukon's beautiful nature. We'd love to come back in summer time & see Yukon in a different light. I am glad we found you on the internet. Thank you for making those 4 days so amazing ! We wish you all the best in the coming year. Julia and Adelina, Hamilton Ontario, Canada

Frank showed us many famous places in Whitehorse. We thought that this town is cute because we could see log skyscraper, froezn Yukon River, frozen trees and famous SS Klondike. Akane teach us sledding and snow shoeing, so we were excited ! Snow shoeing , we could see many nice views and Nagisa & Kaho made Snow angel. That was fun !!! Dog sledding was invaluable expirience. One of us fell from the sled , but it was invaluable experienece too. We were very excited. Some said it was scarry. Some want to do it again. Anyway, we enjoyed this travel.

Dezember 21/2009 3 Nights Aurora Package Dear Frank , Sylke and Akane Thank you for giving me such a comfortable, pleasant and wonderful time. I’ve never seen such a good B&B. Frank , I apprciate your kindness, you came to the bus stop at 4.a.m. !!to pick me up. You were waiting for us for 2 hours. Sylke , your cooking is really tasty and beautiful. Akane , your smile made me happy and thank you for taking care of me very well. I spent a really good and cozy time in here. Now, I am waiting for Northern Light. I don’t know I can see it or not, but if not , it will be fine, because it could be a present which I came here again, someday. Before came here, the purpose of my trip was seeing the Northern light, but the best thing that I have in Whitehorse are seeing you and staying here. I want to come back here with my family someday. I am thinking about taking my parents somewhere they want to go. My parents might be interested in your place . This year , I quit my job and came to the U.S. , witch is a challenge for me. At the same time , it is a big present for myself. I believe that my choice , which I quit my job and came to U.S was not wrong. I met many people who helped me and gave me a good time. Of course I had meet those people before I came to the U.S., but now I am greatful for them. I want to be a person who could give someone something happy. Thank’s a lot. Yoko Mimura, Japan

(especially the eggy bread for last breakfast with you ) We loved the snow shoe walking (and the snow angels – thank you Akane for pushing me over ! ) the snowmobiling was amazing, with breath taking views and an awesome snow machine stunt jump onto the trailer by Frank ( a great photo opportunity that we missed ! ) and even though we enjoyed the ice fishing experience I don’t think we can ever be counted as fishermen . We will definitely never forget our stay with you all and thank you for a special dessert, bubbly + ? to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Claire and Troy Wilson, Derbyshire, England

September 25/2009 Wohnmobil Besucher Fuer Sylke und Frank Was fuer den Stier das rote Tuch, ist fuer den Gast das Gaestebuch.

Die traumhafte Landschaft bei seinem super schoenen Wetter wieder einmal ein Erlebnis. Zwei von uns vieren waren schon einmal hier und konnten sich trotzdem immer noch so begeistern wie beim ersten mal. Die Aufnahme und „Wiederabgabe“ nach / von Deutschland durch Sylke und Frank war super nett. Wir wuerden jederzeit wiederkommen. Die Fotos von den Elchen und Grizzlys reichen wir dann per Mail nach. Bis bald Martina und Reiner, Dagmar und Peter

On Friday before we left , we walked up to the Yukon Arts Center . As we were walking back down the hill to town, I said to Patti, wouldn’t it be funny if we saw Mt. Logan driving out on it’s next journey? Not one minute later, guess what drives by……. Mt. Logan. It was amazing. In any case thanks again and good luck in your future endeavors.

July 18 - 31/2009 RV Rental Our first RV holiday and what a great experience it was too ! Piers arrived in Whitehorse from West Yorkshire, UK and we came up with Bonney the dog from Port Hardy , BC. Frank and Sylke booked two weeks of glorious weather for us. That saw us visit Carcross, Skagway-Alaska, Kluane NP, Dawson City and Tombstone. Ask Piers any question on the Klondike and he’ll know the answer as he became our RV resident expert . Highlights were Kluane NP and Tombstone witch remind us in part of Scotland, Nth Wales and the Yorkshire Dales. Tim and I will be back to the Yukon again.

I am happy that my parents’ faces look happy everyday. My parents had a great time with you in your house. Of course I enjoyed and had a good time with you.

Thank you very much Frank. Sylke, thank you for all. Your cooking was so nice. I love it. You were always taking care of us. My English is not good, but you always tried to understand my English. Your face is always warm, so I can relax all the time. Thank you so much, you are my Canadian mother. I love Tucker and Kira. They are like my brother and sister. I would like to play with them together. I love them so much. I was happy to see Yuka. I am proud of her. Me and my parents want to cheer her. Frank and Sylke, thank you so much.

March 28/2009 Hi Frank and Sylke, Thank you for wonderful hospitality and great food while we stayed for the three nights. The girls and I enjoyed the time at your place. Whitehorse certainly has its charmes and would certainly like to visit again some time to see if I can catch a glimpse of the lights in their full glory. I hope Frank recovered quickly form the stomach bug that prevented him from driving us to the airport in the morning. Best wishes with the upcoming tourist season, and maybe next time, I’ll see a fleet of 10 RV’s in the lot. Keith Lee, Vancouver BC

October 2008 – March /2009 Japanese Help in our B&B Dear Frank & Sylke I can’t believe, I’m signing your guest book! Five months ago, when I arrived at the airport I had lots of luggage and worries. But, soon my worries disappeared and I started to experience great days. When I was in Japan, I never imagined such a wonderful winter. We did welcome many guests and I met so many interesting people. Outside it was super cold, but home was warm cozy and happy. It’s sure, you were disappointed about my English, because sometimes I made trouble, I’m sorry about that. I wish someday, I know fantastic English and to do lot’s of funny talk with you. Thank you very much for everything. I hope to keep in touch forever.. Aya Matsushita, Japan

March 10/2009 Dear Frank and Sylke ( and Aya )! What a wonderful trip we have had. You have made our 20th anniversary so memorable! We have enjoyed the beautiful snow and landscape, the jacuzzi ( o.k. boys only! ) and especially the curling lessons! The kids, despite our vegetarian princess and our angst-filled teenage son, loved the trip. Matt felt so special being pulled ski jor style behind the snowmobile. Corinne loved being the speed demon on the snowmobile. Please remember that anytime you are remotely close to Scottsdale, we have a place for you in our home as we always have a place for you in our hearts. Thanks for allowing us into your home. Brad, Julie, Corinne and Matt Oswood, Scottsdale AZ USA

Feb 08 - 20/2009 Liebe Sylke, lieber Frank, liebe Aya! Endlich, nach so vielen Jahren, haben wir es geschafft, Euch in Canada zu besuchen! Schon der Flug von Vancouver nach Whitehorse war beeindruckend. Die gesamte Zeit der Blick ueber die Rockies! Die Zeit in Eurem wunderschoenen Haus haben wir sehr genossen. Auf diesem Wege vielen Dank fuer Eure Gastfreundschaft! Wir haben uns wie zuhause gefuehlt! Unser groesstes Erlebnis war natuerlich das Yukon Quest!! Wir waren Dank Frank – Dog Handler von Yuka Honda – mittendrin statt nur dabei! Toll, dass wir das erleben durften! Einzigartig! Auch die Fahrt mit dem Hundeschlitten war traumhaft. Zum Glueck hat das Wetter sich von seiner besten Seite gezeigt! Es gab nur einen „Wetteraussetzer“ Ausgerechnet auf der Fahrt von Dawson zurueck nach Whitehorse! Trotz Schneesturm und tief verschneiter Strasse ist Frank klasse nach Hause gefahren! Auch eine bleibende Erinnerung! Unser letztes Erlebnis war eine aufregende Tour mit dem Snowmobil. Danke Frank – Du warst ein toller Guide! Wir behalten viele tolle und lustige Erinnerungen an unseren ersten Urlaub in Canada!! Vielen Dank dafuer. Wir kommen sicherlich wieder! P.S. Dieses Buch ist zu duenn...... ich koennte es fuellen Simone und Thorsten Baranski, Dorsten Deutschland

Feb 10/2009 三泊四日という長くて短い期間でしたが、温かいおもてなしをしていただきありがとうございました。ただ私自身英語で話すことができなかったので、ご迷惑をおかけしました。オーロラを見ることができるかわかりませんが、犬ぞりができたので楽しい思い出を作ることができました。本当に四日間ありがとうございました。 追記 友人は上記のように英語が話せないと言っているけど、二日目に台湾の子と同席したときに彼女とコミュニケーションが取りたくて部屋で話すきっかけを考えていたのを私は知っています。言葉はできるにこした事はないけどコミュニケーションをとる方法はいくつでもあります。よい旅が続きますように Kuniko, Japan

Feb 10/2009 昨年の11月から何度もメールでのやりとりから始まり、お世話になりました。あの時期は、自分のWHの準備と、この旅行準備が重なり、忙しく、慌ててメールを送って二度手間になったことを反省していました。 三日間の滞在で二晩オーロラが見れなかったので、今から始まるラストのチャンス、今夜見えることを祈って。 体に気をつけて。あやちゃんもWH楽しんで下さい。では、Danke Mayumi, Japan

Feb 04 - 07/2009 Dear Frank, Sylke & Aya It’s so great to know you all. And that’s our luck for choosing Mt. Lorne Aurora B&B. The experiences here are geat and Frank arranged everything for us.

Hope to see you next time! Also Tucker and Kira. Megan & Charles, Vancouver + Hong Kong

Jan.26 - 29/2009 Dear Frank and Sylke Thank you very much for 3 days. We had so much fun with you especially snow mobiling. It wasn’t wrong that we chose this B&B!! Cause this B&B with a homey atmosphere and every single meal was soooooo yummmy. Nice hot tub and also we could go fishing, even we couldn’t get any fish, that was great experience for us.

Jan.25/2009 あやちゃん、フランク、シルク 本当に素敵なおもてなし、どうもありがとう。ここで過ごした数日は私の人生の中でとても大切な思い出のひとつになりそうです。おいしごはん、美しい雪景色、とてもかわいいキラとたか、日本にはないものがここにはあって1日1日とても感動しました。 英語をあまり話せなくて二人とうまくコミュニケーションがとれなかったのが残念でしたが、二人の優しさと笑顔にとても心が癒されました。本当にありがとう。 あやちゃん、すごく外寒かったのに、きれいな景色を教えてくれてありがとう。かまくら作り、あやちゃんがいなかったらあんなに上手につくれなかったよ。手伝ってくれてありがどうね。 日本でまた三人に会えたらすごく嬉しい！体に気をつけてお過ごし下さい。 Dear Frank & Sylke & Aya Thank you very much for everything. We spent a great time with you, Aya and your really smart dogs, Kira & Tucker. We enjoyed your super delicious meals, playing with snow, making an Eagle and everything is fine…. It could be fine…probably tonight, 2:30am, we would see Aurora. We really really wish…… Anyway, only god knows. The dog sledding was so exciting!! We loved & enjoyed it very much so. We’ll never forget that experience and the view. During the dog sledding we saw sooooo beautiful view of Whitehorse… it was like heaven.
