LA to Vancouver to Whistler Mountain
Leaving Vancouver
As a result of our horrific nights sleep the night before, we canceled our final night at the Wilshire Grand (ha!) and took the LA Metro - risking our lives in the process - out to the airport to stay at the Radisson, SO much better.
Another early start led us onto the Air Alaska flight to Vancouver.
As some of you probably figured out by now, we had free WiFi! Woohoo! It was a bit of a novelty updating Facebook, Twitter and sending emails at 48,000 feet. I’m sure once it’s a standard service in a couple of years time people will be annoyed it’s yet another place we can’t escape being contacted though :o)
We landed in Vancouver on time and after a quick lunch boarded to bus to Whistler Mountain, a resort a couple of hours away.
The trip up there was stunning to say the least, it’s called ‘Sea to Sky’ and it really is. The journey takes you from the turquoise Pacific Ocean up thousands of feet to the clear air of the mountains.
On arrival we were dropped off at our hotel, the Westin Resort and Spa Whistler, a very, very pleasant surprise indeed considering our last hotel the Flight Centre booked for us. More details to follow…..
