Hello All, We are here !!! Flight was uneventful, long (9hours) but pretty painless (apart from the fact that of the 300 people who were on board the flight there was one whose TV wasn't working - ME !!!!!!). Oh well, managed to bug Michelle for 9 hours, read a book and constantly fed and watered (cider & baileys kept me going). Masses of legroom as we booked row 1 so many years ago !! well worth it. For those concerned about my leg - i survived the flight - kept those rather fetching compression socks on for slightly longer than was necessary as they felt so good !!. Anyway here in Vancouver - Wet and grey for our arrival and wet and grey this Sunday morning - sitting in Starbucks for the free Wifi. I'll let others pick up on the hotel, last night and everything else.
Nothing really to add about the flight except finally got to watch It's Complicated although it took about 3 hours with all the pauses whilst trying to help John sort out his TV!! Got a taxi instead of the sky train as we were tired and it was raining so the views are a bit obscured, apparently we are surrounded by mountains but we can't see them!!!! Hotel good, we have a separate lounge and a small kitchen, two tv's and the kids are excited because they can watch Zac and Cody. MacDonalds for tea then managed to keep going until about 7.30 before all crashing out. Woke at 3.00 am and all sat looking out of the floor to ceiling windows in the hotel, think there were more people about at 3.30 than there were at 9.00 am. Now refulled with a full fat latte with a low fat fruit bar in Starbucks and heading off to Canada Place.
claraaaa: well we are here! :D the flight was good, jetlag is weird! The times all messed up, i woke up at 3 this morning, feeling like it was 12 in the afternoon! ohwell :) We all went and looked out the window at 3, Vancouver at night! Quite a view! Went back to sleep though, got up and now we are all sitting in starbucks, yay for free wifi! ;D Can't wait to get out and explore Vancouver a bit more! Cough*lookattheshops*Cough ;D hehe, byebyeee!
