Back To Land – Hello Vancouver.

We had to be out of our room at 8am… early. We were packed and on-time, and hit the buffet line at the same time as everyone else… the downside of disembarkation day.

Had a light breakfast and headed to Customs – not bad, a half an hour line, and no luggage search.

Luckily the cruise terminal in Vancouver has the cabs come into the building to pick people up, which is good since it’s raining Mountie and Mooses.

Arrival time at the WorldMark Canadian? 9:30 – chance of room being ready. Really, really, slim.

Our luck? The party in our room had checked out a day early so our room was ready – and I was ready for a nap.

And nap I did – till about noon. Still raining… sigh. What a difference 18 hours makes.

Ran out for groceries for dinner – should have waited. Got wet on the way there, but by the time I was done shopping, no sun, but not a raining.

Tonight’s dinner guests:

  • Helene
  • Solus+
  • Hummingbird
  • BamBam/Cyndi
  • Magnatrious
  • Uncle Markie

Menu:

  • PuPu platter with pate, two cheeses, crackers
  • Pear-Gorgonzola salad
  • Salmon steaks
  • Three bottles of red wine
  • Bottle of Jamesons

Consumed:

  • All

Tomorrow we are back on a boat headed to Los Angeles – which mean YET ANOTHER queue in the morning.’

Sigh. But a good sigh.
