Driving from Salem, Oregon to Vancouver today… Pat’s turn to drive. The Oregon portion wasn’t nearly as scenic as our run south along the Pacific… I highly recommend that drive. The drive took us through Portland then oddly enough; Vancouver… unfortunately not the one we were looking for. We also passed through Olympia and Seattle…

feb.3: Left the Westin Grand this morning… two days early! Everyone thought I was NUTS leaving this posh hotel for a second-rate one in the outskirts. I had my motives though… went to stay with Pat to get ready for the Odyssey, our trip to California. Had supper in Steveston… a quaint fishing village near…

Ran out of time to post yesterday… combined a couple days, not much going on anyway. Mar.01: Took the Sea to Sky highway back to Vancouver… is there any other way? I have no idea. Made several stops for photo ops… switched drivers at one point since I had an important call to take. Back…

We headed downtown to take…

More training following the meet & greet. Went to pickup Olympic Accreditation only to find mine had an error and had to be redone……
heading out west…
Got up really early this morning (3:30am) to start my adventure out West. Started with an invigorating ride on the airport limo, followed by a long delay waiting for our airline to sort out some connection problems in Calgary. Flew into Calgary and was told my flight was canceled and had to wait four hours…
