Hello Canada
Today started super early With Steve dropping me off at the airport for my flight to Vancouver.
I was traveling with one large roller piece of luggage (big enough to fit my light stand), two small carry-ons with all of my expensive electronics, and my flash umbrella that wouldn't fit into my luggage.
The trip was uneventful, and once I got to Vancouver the sky train was a super easy and awesome way to get downtown. Except that I was carrying all of this baggage AND an unwieldy umbrella that kept banging into everyone.
And everyone kept apologizing to me.
For me running into them.
That is so Canadian.
Before I could check into the condo where I'm staying, I needed to get some cash for a cleaning deposit. And ATMs are hard to find in downtown Vancouver. The first one I found rejected my card, and then I wandered around for a while texting Steve about how lost I was until I decided to go into the gigantic Vancouver Public Library.
And there was an ATM that accepted my Alaskan card. Whew.
Tonight I had cocktails with my brother, his fiancé and everyone else involved with tomorrow's wedding. We met at a restaurant in the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel and I loved every aesthetic about the hotel. Even the bathroom was gorgeous.
I have no idea what I'm going to do tomorrow before the wedding. I have no plan, no list, nothing.
And that's okay.
