Vancouver, Canada

Hello from the most gorgeous day in Vancouver! No matter which direction I turned it was just spectacular.

Hey, we’ve stayed in the Pan Pacific Hotel!
Got to watch sea planes taking off and landing
Adhering to my take back-my-own-schedule schedule I skipped my typical morning breakfast inside and went to the buffet. And enjoyed eating it at the back of the ship outside.
The view from my breakfast table
Just like for dinner last night, breakfast
was in my own private outside dining area.
Pictures and a short video filmed from the ship are as close as I got to the city today. Thankfully we’ve been here many times before on days as nice as this.
With my front tire needing a NASCAR style tires-only pitstop I had no choice but to stay on board.
It’s this spot I’m most worried about
It was a great day spent just sitting in a lounge chair in the warm sunshine. And once evening hit, dinner of beef stew over mashed potatoes from the buffet was eaten at my private outdoor dining area. 
I stayed until the sun started dropping behind the sails of Canada Place before heading in. 
Now we’re up with two sea days in a row as we make our way back to San Francisco. See you tomorrow.
