Departing Canada

We are sitting in the Vancouver Airport writing this portion of my blog. We left Edmonton with the temperature at -39 degrees. December has been a cold month and we are glad we are heading south. We stayed in Langley BC for two nights. They have a lot of snow here, more then we have in Edmonton. For our stay in Langley we always stay at the Cascade Coast Hotel, casino and convention center. It is located right in the heart of Langley and is  a very good hotel. We had the buffet breakfast today and it only cost $4.99 each. If you are going to stay in the lower mainland then I recommend you stay at this hotel. The hotel also has freen internet service. You can always try and win some money in the casino.

Today we had a snowy drive to airport but we did it in 45 minutes. The only hold up is still the security area after you clear US Customs.  It just seems to be too small and cramped compared to other security areas we go through on these annual trips. Oh well what can I do as we are here early and have 1.5 hrs left before we leave.

Even though there is a lot of snow here it was around +2 yesterday which is way better then -39 in Edmonton. 

We have been to Langley many times over the years and this is the first time I have seen snow.

One nice thing about YVR is they have free Internet which is very nice. It means I can get some work done while we are waiting. Unlike Edmonton that wanted $7 for an hour of use. Way to go YVR.
