    Vancouver, Canada

    April 30, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Arrival at Vancouver, Canada. Canaderia. Same plane, Allan and Jan in business class. Melissa in cattle. Allan and Jan plied with wine and food the entire flight. Melissa. Nada. Melissa hangry and not at all happy - Jan.
    Exiting of the airport somewhat problematic as Jan's attempt to smuggle in marijuana halted by customs. Intercepted, her supply confiscated.
    The customs officer intercepting the heist, fortunately famous on Australian TV thanks to Border Force, somewhat softened the blow and
    Melissa assured Jan, we can visit all the stores that legally sell the stuff as compensation. 🤣
    A quick stop at Tim Hortons for doughnuts before exiting the airport and greeting concierge Dave for transit to The Blue Horizon hotel in downtown Vancouver (not to be confused with The Blue Oyster) shortly before midnight. Melissa keen to dump bags and refuel, meant a quick stop at a local bar to cheers Canada with a club and dry (double of course!) and some poutine, topped off an epic first travel leg. Cheers to you Canaderia!
