Today is our last day in Vancouver, and Canada for that matter. Our plane doesn't take off until after 8pm, so we have pretty much the whole day to do stuff. Our hosts were nice enough to let us leave our luggage at the house, until 4pm. We woke up at our regular time, packed up what was left, and took it downstairs. We got bus 406, and took it to the train station, where we bought 2 more Day Passes since we'd be using the train or bus pretty much all day. We boarded the train and went to Waterfront where the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus booth is to find out if we could use the tickets we had bought yesterday. The lady said yes, so away we went, to Stanley Park. We rode through the park ... read more

Had a very relaxing morning, as the pick up for our glacier, Prince William Sound, cruise was not until 9:30. Felt really good to veg a little and not have to be out the door for 8:00. The van was prompt and brought us to the docks where we checked in, then got in line to board the boat. We had decided on one of Stan Stephens glacier and wildlife cruises that included going to the Columbia Glacier. The early morning had started out with light rain, and very low hanging clouds. We were all quite concerned about what we would be able to see if the weather did not improve. But, low and behold, as we began to board the sun started to peek through and just got brighter as the morning wore on. Our ... read more

On the road at 8:20 today with a quick stop at the gas pumps to drop a quick $117. Gas here is $4.29 per gallon, and I'm sure the price will continue to increase. Being that these RV's get around 9 miles to a gallon the fuel costs are quite high. I will have a total expenditure at the end of the trip. We all loved the Tok RV Village as it was clean, had trees, and the spots were not on top of each other. It was a welcome treat after our last stop. We saw a couple of Great Alaskan Holiday rigs there also enjoying the stop. I met a couple that had driven all the way from Florida. They are taking an unlimited amount of time to tour the country and said the ... read more

Tubby’s is a great place for breakfast - take my word for it. Two French toast with syrup, 2 eggs sunny side up, 2 pieces of bacon and endless coffee. I may not have to eat again until tomorrow! A relaxing stroll in Armstrong Woods should work off some of those calories. The grove is a living reminder of the magnificent primeval redwood forest that covered this area before logging destroyed much of it. This park preserves stately and magnificent Sequoia sempervirens or coast redwoods (cypress family) which are the tallest living things on our planet. They can live up to 2,000 years and grow 27 feet wide towering 350 feet in the air. If you want to feel insignificant in this natural world, stand in this grove and look up and around. Exiting the car, ... read more
