Hi!
Arrived 7 pm last night in Vancouver. Got my working visa and then walked out of the airport, grabbed a taxi and headed downtown to the Samesun Hostel. With my two huge suitcases, and a little carry-on bag... oh and not forgetting my shiny purple laptop bag of course... I was finally here! So exhausted from the extensive travel (all 15 hours- give or take a few). First flight was from Tampa, FL to JFK, NY. Second flight was from JFK, NY to SLC, (Salt Lake City, Ohio). Third and final flight was from SLC, OH to Vancouver, Canada. All in all, good flights and I even managed to sleep some of the way too! :)That was yesterday.
Today, I woke up at around 9:30 am but didn't head down to breakfast until 10 am, which, coincidentally, worked out perfectly to grab a quick bagel and cream cheese and head out to do some scouting of the nearby area. But, because it was really rainy and cold, I bought a padlock (for the locker in the room) and turned around to go straight back to the hostel. Now all my stuff will be safe locked up in the locker. Speaking of safety and stuff, a little note to self: NEVER, I repeat NEVER travel alone with more than one large suitcase!!! EVER! It's too hard to manage! (Although you have to admit, I did pretty well, considering the circumstances) So, now I'm kicking back and taking it easy, until the real fun starts when I get to 'Cold Lake' and my new host family. I'm excited! :D
That's all for now. Until then.
Keep travelling!
