Travel Day

Monday April 23rd, 2007. Vancouver. Exp Temp 13c
Flying from Vancouver to San Francisco, Alaskan Airways. I have got my position in the backpack so I get a good view of whats going on. I have also gotten a few strange looks. Lucky for me I don't have to take off my shoes when we pass thru security checks. Thankfully my owner put on clean socks this morning. We have passed thru immigration and customs, and going to spend a bit of time here waiting. Our flight has been delayed about 30 mins. Vancouver Airport is large, with lots of glassed in walkways, etc. Pictures to be added later. We managed to get Exit seats on the flight, which was good for my owners long legs. If you are in the Exit seats you have to agree to assist in the case of emergency. But my owner wonders why some of the people say they will, the guy in the window seat near us, was old and unsteady on his feet and might have had a hard time removing the exit door if there was an emergency.

We arrived in San Francisco, a little later than schedule, and managed to use the BART to get into town. Il Divo had been performing in Vancouver last nite and there were a few on board the flight that had flown up to see them. A mother and her daughter, caught the BART with us and said I was cute, with my head sticking out of the back pack. My owner said they were typical Il Divo fans. (Female and both not to slender). Comments in italics are direct quotes by my owner.

Just a little message for Trevor. There is a lot of bike riding around Vancouver, along the sea wall and Stanley Park. Vancouver has the largest nude bike ride each year around June. That was one of the interesting facts pointed out by the Marine biologist while searching for killer whale, also Vancouver has a nude beach at the back of the University, and the binoculars are not handed out until we pass it.
