New Day, New Place

I'm in Canada, Vancouver to be specific. Molly and I flew here this morning to be fresh for boarding our ship tomorrow.

At the San Francisco airport, we only had to go about six different places to check in for our United flight. Upon arrival in Canada, we had to walk about six gillion miles for Customs. From the airport, we managed to figure the train thingy for downtown Vancouver and actually get to our desired destination, then walk another six gillion blocks to our hotel, where we've seen two famous actors. Of course, we're in our Beverly Hillbillies outfits, so I think the hotel people would prefer that we stay in our room.

We've eaten at some healthy place where we had a rice/carrot/shrimp combo thing and at Tim Horton's, which is apparently a big deal here. We also managed to wander about downtown in hopes of finding a mall. We were mildly successful, in the sense that we found some buildings that housed a collection of stores. However, a regular USA mall? I think not. Oh, and here could possibly be the densest concentration of Starbucks than I've ever seen.

Anyhoo, that's my take on Canada. Except that it's quite chilly, which means by the time I actually return to Nashville, it's going to seem really, really hot. Especially since I'll be in Alaska in between now and then!

Until tomorrow ....

Hope you're on the ship by the time you read this- can't wait to see pictures (no nekkids, please). Will Molls get the birthday cake at dinner?
