We crossed the Canadian Border around 8 a.m. today. An easy process - no joking, no extra questions.
We checked out the motel where we had reservations and then headed for the Vancouver Aquarium. I had seen a program about the aquarium last month and it looked like a winner.
Unfortunately for us there were far too many school buses for such a small facility. Kids are okay, but it isn't okay to allow loads of kids to run wild anywhere.
We have been spoiled by our trips to the Monterey Bay Aquarium!
After the aquarium we checked out Stanley Park and downtown Vancouver. We finally headed for the motel around 2 p.m. - traffic was already more stop than go.
Opposite the motel is an enormous COSTCO - of course, I had to check that out. One always finds something different. This particular COSTCO has lots of Asian food items, some clothing manufactured in Canada, some seasonal stuff that I've never seen in our COSTCO.
We had something to eat in COSTCO and while we were sitting we visited with a couple from Vancouver - he is Hungarian and her family is from Holland. Nice people.
Looking forward to getting on the ship tomorrow.
