Bye bye Big White, Hello Vancouver...

1st Mar, 2008

Well, we are in Vancouver now. Hotel is very nice in a great location smack bang in the middle of all the action on Robson Street.

A few pics upon us leaving Big White.

The bags sitting outside waiting to be picked up whilst we waited in the lobby because it was cold and snowing....



The poor parking attendant whose job it is to make sure people keep the area clear for all the shuttle buses which run continually up and down the mountain to the airport. It was as cold and miserable as it looks....



Some of the lucky buggers skiing in the nice conditions as they go under the bridge towards the Bullet chair....



A nice pic of snow covered units on our way out of the village....



Last look at the slopes, looking up Blue Ribbon from the bus as we leave Big White....



Amazingly, our flight was on time!!! An uneventful flight to Vancouver, all done in under an hour saw us safely land and head to our hotel in Vancouver in the style befitting our group, a stretch limo....





Had a nice feed of spaghetti for dinner after a wander down Robson Street looking in the usual shops (shoes, sunglasses, clothes, drug stores etc.). Having a sleepin in the morning before heading off to the markets and a trip to some big ski shops on West 4th Ave.

Later....

Hey, who can't spell. I just noticed that my birthday banner actually says

HAPPY BIRT DAY BRENDA

Who forgot the H in birthday????

Anyway, have fun shopping in Vancouver.

And mum, don't forget DO NOT go the North Whistler.

Sorry to see the end of Big White, but you have certainly whet my appetite for 2011.

Lots of Love

Brenda, Darren, Riley & Kody

Hi guys,

How time is flying and you are now on the last leg of your trip. Enjoy Vancouver and Whistler.. but whats with the stretch limo ? Was that organised by the motel your staying at or were you just trying to be some Aussie showoffs .. lol

Just been back through all video clips, they are really good and had a few laughs.
Peter is upset that he did not get a birthday song from the singing koalas last week for his birthday. You guys are good enough for funniest home video.
Hope Vancouver is a rest and maybe more shoes etc.
Hear from you soon
