From Stanley Park to the Space Needle
Well thought would put up a post as i still try and get over the jet lag that has been destroying me and possibly the couple of beers that have been consumed.
I've always been told the worst part of travelling is the airports. Well this was very true from the outset with the plane being delayed 3hours from Sydney then after already doing security checks in Aus had to go through it all again at Honolulu. Though this now means I have been to Hawaii, though no photos because of security reasons. Arrived in Vancouver at 130pm instead of the 10am time arrived with 3 other flights, so was in customs and immigration until 5pm though i did meet Josh in customs and Adam in Immigration, this was a sign of things to come. Once got into Vancouver settled in for a couple of brews waiting for Josh to arrive, poor bastard didn't get in till 7pm so a few more pints were had. This led to heading into the irsih pub next door and meeting up with Darryl and Bev an english couple met on the Shuttle bus into town. This turned into quite a debaucherous evening and well the 9.30 bedtime came and went and so did the first canadian dollars!! So the next day it was the tour of Vancouver, out to Stanley Park for a morning stroll, then down to Chinatown for Lunch. Great city and even better way to work off the excessive alcohol. Back to the hotel sleep and then back to the pub for dinner and beers, though only a couple of pints due to Adam having to leave at 430 the next morning for Toronto and Josh leaving at 7 for Seattle.
As I am meant to be meeting Travis, I thought Ibetter stay in Vancouver but hes not answered his phone so am now in Seattle with Josh cos thought would be cool. So the Space Needle tomorrow and some cool music then Josh heads off to Minneapolis and I am going to keep heading south in search of my brother next stop Portland and San Francisco.
Anyway will post photos next time round and let you know of my adventures, and how much spending american dollars hurts the hip pocket.

Travis seems a bit hard to catch - you told him you were coming over to visit, right? Good to see you are getting stuck into the beers on your holiday!
Hey Mcmaster!
Did you get my email with Chris' proper phone number in it and saying that I'd called him etc??
So cool that you're meeting up with Paula over there too!
Have a drink with Chris for me!!
