June 28th, Vancouver, BC
This was a travel day. Cindy and I didn’t have to get up until 8 (although Cindy was up before then) and didn’t leave the hotel until shortly before 9:30. Others had to leave the hotel at 3:15. By the time we all arrived in Vancouver, they looked like “frogs in a flashlight beam” (to use an old Midwest expression).
Our travel was uneventful. Even our passage through customs and immigration in Vancouver went well, with the assistance of a very helpful lady with a strong Chinese accent at the passport station. This reminded me, of course, that Vancouver is a very international city.
The welcome dinner was EXCELLENT, the best catered dinner we’ve had on our trip. Our room is fantastic, with a great view.
But our bus driver from the airport to the hotel was wonderful. He told us all about the area and the buildings along the way. And he’s not even from Canada!
Also, we saw the huge geodesic ball that gets lit up in the background of one of the early Highlander episodes (which is supposedly set in Seattle, but was actually filmed in Vancouver). So the trip is a complete success!
