Day 1 - Travelling

Got up early at 05.30 to get to the airport early and have a relaxed breakfast. Tommy took us at around 06.30 after we had given Andrew a wee cuddle and he had stopped crying. Unfortunately when we got there we couldn't check in our cases until 07.40! Anyway we managed to fit in a couple of Witherspoons breakfast rolls before we boarded a very quiet flight. As this was a BA flight we of course got another breakfast! Never refuse a meal as you never know where the next one will come from - McGown's maxim.

Flight from Heathrow was OK but a bit long at 09.30 hours. Got the Canada Line Skytrain into the town centre then the Seabus over the river to the North Bank. A taxi took us to our hotel which is pretty nasty but cheap. Sitting on bed watching game 4 of the Stanley Cup ice hockey series between Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins. So far it's 2 games to 1 for Canucks and everyone around here is going crazy, seemingly Vancouver Canucks haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1932 - a bit like Hibs!

It's now 01.30 UK time 17.30 here so no more today as very tired.
