UMTravels

Before the pandemic, I would visit Whistler 3-4 times a summer – getting the summer lift pass and just riding around the mountains. I almost cried as I approached Whistler this time.

Was an overcast day a little on the cool side, so the heater was on full blast.

I was shocked that there was a line at the border!

I was even more shocked when I couldn’t find my NEXUS card – apparently I’d dropped it at Duty Free. Was VERY SURPRISED when they let me through the NEXUS lane with just my passport. He asked my phone number and then my name. ArrivCAN which everyone must fill out was in the system with my NEXUS number in it. Not even a secondary inspection!

Just north of Horseshoe Bay where I stopped to take these shots, it started to lightly rain. Time to put the top up.

Glad that I wasn’t headed back into Vancouver on the Monday of a three-day holiday.

Stopped in Squamish for groceries and bubbles—and by the time I was done, the sun was out so the top went back down.

I think this falls in the category of “crimes against nature”. Banana-infused Bourbon. Yuck!

I was joined the first night by parts of my extended family:

They were only up for one full night, then left after an early dinner Tuesday – which meant shopping for supplies in Whistler Village, a short stroll away.

I left the boys to continue their stroll and took the groceries home. I thought the hot tub sounded better:

I had to head back on Wednesday morning at 6am (up at 5am) to open the shop at noon – business partner still testing positive for COVID. I’d already hacked off one night to a Thursday doctor appointment. Sigh.

Gloomy on the way back…

Hoping to be back at the end of June for another few days.
