Oh, Canada!

I've been back for a few weeks now from my trip to Canada. It was the first time I had ever been to the beautiful country that is Canada, and hope to go again soon! WOW! I was fortunate enough to stay at the Pan Pacific Hotel in downtown Vancouver, BC. I didn't have a harbour view from my room, but I did have a magnificent view of the city itself. Again, WOW! Yes, the hotel was right on the water. In fact, it docked all the cruise ships for Alaskan cruises! How cool?! When I looked out into the harbour, it was surrounded by mountains. Not a sight you can see every day here in good old New Jersey!!

It was a long week because I wasn't there for vacation. I had to work while I was there. Meetings, setting up for events, etc. I did, however, get to do some sight seeing including a city wide scavenger hunt based on the TV show "The Amazing Race." It was a team-building event that paired up all of our agents, managers, and home office personnel that took us to some of the most beautiful spots in Vancouver over an 8 mile area. Yep 8 miles in which 4 I tried to run because it was a "race!" I even got to kayak in the bay!! It was an amazing time and I hope to post some pictures soon.

Our last evening we had a dinner at the Capilano Suspension bridge. Originally built in 1889, the bridge stretches 450 feet across and sits 230 ft. above the Capilano River. Absolutely breathtaking! I've included this youtube clip just to give you a glimpse of what it's like.



All in all I had a great time in Vancouver, but was thrilled to come home to my husband! Next year's stop is Puerto Rico and Craig will be with me for that trip!!
