The trip is already starting off with a bit of excitement!

We traveled on West Jet from Detroit to Vancouver. We were very glad to hear that the strike only lasted a day and that it had been settled.

Now for the packing. What do you pack for the expected weather? A little bit of everything.
- Shirts: Short sleeve, Long sleeve, a dress shirt, a couple collared shirts and a sweat shirt
- Pants: Shorts, Jeans, Dress, and water proof
- Rain Coat
- Shoes: Sneakers, dress shoes, hiking shoes, flip flops

Don't evan ask what in the wife's suit case!

Flight on West Jet was excellent. Staff was great and very helpfull. Line at airport was very short and we were at the far end of the terminal (where it seems all of flights leave) in no time.

Vancouver is a pretty neat city. We should have done a litle more research on what to do for the day. Part of the group went to the Gardens and had a great time. The other part of the group took naps. The 3:30 am wake up call took it's tole.

Check back tomorrow to see the ship and the first day of the cruise.
