Hey Sara,
Welcome to the friendliest site on the net. "A little lost" is three steps ahead of where I am most of the time, so you're in great company. People here answer questions that seem too dumb to ask with a kindness that makes you glad you spoke up.
I also can't resist saying to anybody from BC how much I loved that part of the world on last visit. Great folk, wonderful place, outrageous scenery. I went from Bellingham WA up to Whistler - as slowly as I could.
Here's to the return of the sun and new members!
