Wow, that was a long day! In total we were in transit for just over 14 hours, but we are safely here in Vancouver now. We had a little glitch when we got "lost" on the way to the Logan express and missed the shuttle we had hoped to take, but after that everything went well.
Once in Vancouver, we "hired a sedan" to take us directly to our hotel. That was recomended because of the 300,000 people that were coming to town last night to see the fireworks display. Aparently it is a competition between Canada, South Africa, Great Britain, and some other country for the best fireworks display in the world. Of course we attended, but it was late. It didn't even get mostly dark here until after 10 PM (1AM east coast time) when the fireworks began. Wow, what a show!
Our hotel is beautiful and right near down town. Today we are planning on heading over to Granby Island to check out the public market and all the cool foodstuffs they have there. There are also lots of shops and restaurants. In the afternoon, we may head over to Stanley Park for a horse drawn tour.
I am attempting to add a video shot yesterday at DFW to figure out how to do it.
I feel like a stalker!
