Landed Yesterday
Finally did it, arrived at Vancouver yesterday.
The goodbyes were fun yet tough, funny how you don't really know how others feel about you until your about to leave the country.
Manchester airport Crappy, Vancouver airport refreshing. Immigration officers warm and pleasant and informative
, didn't want to see my goods to follow list, i did ask twice. Attached my B4 goods accompanying to another form which they marked "see attached" saying they used a different one at Vancouver. No bags checked straight through.
Travelling with two kids was the only tricky part. came via Thomas Cook / Canadian Affair. Initially planned to upgrade to Premium but could not justify the extra £850 (4 seats) instead just got stung £160 for being 16kg over on bag weight.
Odd not being here as tourists this time around. Different feel, but to be expected i guess.
Come Monday we're onward to Kamloops, our ultimate destination. Hopefully feeling a little refreshed.
