At the Fairmont, Vancouver Airport

Christina flies in and out of Vancouver a lot and she's always wanted to stay at this hotel and so we decided to splurge a bit and do so. Great choice. We are sitting in the lovely lobby, checking email and catching up on blog world. It is just great to land here and be mellow after a long day of travel back from Tofino.

Brief update since spa day..... Spa day itself was really fabulous. Lovely facial, lovely massage. I really needed the facial given how sun burned my skin was after the whale watching... Then we shopped a bit. I bought a great pair of jeans and a perfect summer dress that will work well into the Texas fall. Then we walked down to Sarah and John's, which was a longer walk than we expected.... Then we kayaked... my second time (check CT's blog for the gory details). Let's just say it is a good deal more challenging up here than in a nice residential inlet of Galveston... We had a good dinner at Breakers and finished off season two of Big Love.

We decided to skip the Ashtanga class and head on back to Vancouver. Stunning scenery on the way down. The ferry ride was also great. It took awhile to get over to the airport, but now we are here. Tomorrow we leave. it has been a totally fabulous trip!!!

And I'm really excited to be coming home to my new home in Austin!!!
