DAY 2: SEP 6, 2023
DAVE HERE: UP AT O DARK 30, SACK BREAKFAST, SHUTTLE ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT. TODAY WAS A DAY OF SITTING AND WAITING, 2 HRS AT OTTAWA AIRPORT, SITTING FOR FIVE HOURS ON THE PLANE (WATCHED THE COMPLETE JOHN WICK 4 AND HALF OF BLADE RUNNER). ARRIVED SAFELY IN VANCOUVER AT 930 AM LOCAL TIME, WAITED UNTIL 1PM FOR JOAN AND LARRY ARRIVAL, SAT FOR TWO HOURS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO OPEN OUR AIRBNB, FINALLY INSIDE AND WAITING FOR RON AND MAUREEN. SHOULD ARRIVE ABOUT 6PM.THAT WAS THE WAITING HISTORY.
DID HAVE A CULINARY ADVENTURE IN THE VANCOUVER AIRPORT. THERE IS A SHOP CALLED JAPADOGS, HOTDOGS SERVED JAPANESE STYLE. THE ONE WE HAD WAS SERVED IN A REGULAR BUN, BED OF VINEGAR SEASONED CABBAGE, DOG, TOPPED WITH CROQUETTS (SEASONED AND FRIED MASHED POTATOES) AND A BIT OF WASABI. THE JAPANESE FRENCH FRIES WERE BETTER, VERY SMALL SLICES, VERY HOT SERVED WITH SIRACHA.
WE DID HAVE A NICE TAXI RIDE TO OUR AIRBNB WITH TALKATIVE HINDU DRIVER. DEVA MEANS THANK YOU IN HINDI. VANCOUVER IS LARGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. VERY CLEAN, PROSPEROUS, LOTS OF CONSTRUCTION. BUSTLING.
WE ARE WAITING IN OUR AIRBNB FOR THE FINAL COUPLE TO ARRIVE AND THEN OUT TO A CHINESE DINNER SOMEWHERE. WE ARE STAYING IN CHINATOWN.
