In Vancouver

It has been a long day -- we've been up 20 hours, and even though it's only 7 p.m. our time, we are on our way to bed.

The morning started great.  Ivy picked us up and drove us to Atlanta where I told her to go to the International terminal, since we were flying to Canada.  Well, we were flying domestic first, so we had to relocate ourselves thanks to a kind shuttle bus driver, and then off to San Francisco.  The plane was late leaving Atlanta because it was late getting in from San Francisco.  But, as fortune favors the foolish, it was the same plane that took us on to Vancouver, so we had no worries making connections.  We did have to get off because of security and then get back on.

Once in Canada, we hired a cab for a ride to our hotel. For those of you who have traveled to Russia, you will appreciate this next.  The air condition in this hotel is centrally located and centrally controlled, and not turned on yet.  So our balcony door is open to let in cool north breezes.

Walked around a little bit and then had a marvelous dinner back in the hotel in their revolving restaurant on the 42nd floor.  What great views.  And a very good meal of prime rib and all the trimmings.

Now, it's to bed and then off for the Grand Princess tomorrow.  We sail at 4, and if I have WiFi I'll send you word of our doings.
