Travel Days

Sunday – Fairmont Hotel, YVR. Dave and Cheryl drove us to the airport so we wouldn’t have to leave our car there. Had a wonderful dinner that night, sable-fish and some kind of awesome hot potato salad. Grainy mustard, white wine vinegar and a bunch of other stuff I can’t remember right now. Yum. And sable-fish, oh what a treat.

Monday – 4:30 am is not friendly to anyone. Had gross hotel room coffee until we got to the secured area where we inhaled a couple of Starbucks lattes. We both slept on the plane, until we got to LAX, where we considered getting lunc during our “layover”. Ha. Good thing we decided to find our terminal first, instead. We barely made it in time to buy a sandwich before boarding for the next leg. Oh, and there was an exciting bit where I got on a down esclator that wasn’t going where I expected. Picture me dashing up against the current while Ray yells “Rox, Rox!” from the parallel escalator. Good thing no one was behind me.

Napped again on the plane, then arrived bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (yeah, right) in Maui, where our cabbie gave us an entertaining explanation for various things, some of which might have even been right. We had enough energy after checking in to get a bite and sup at the bar-and-grill before crashing.
