So we SCORED on our flight! Not only did we get a new plane, but we managed to bag Exit row seats and had the big fancy shmancy screens in front of our seats with a touch screen and endless movies and tv shows. Apart from freezing, it was one of the best flights I’ve ever had.

Jetted into the upgraded Vancouver Airport, which is one of the swankiest airports in the world. Check it out, Bangkok Airport. Sean’s lovely Mum picked us up and I was totally wrecked with jet lag so I slept for a good few hours, then out for dinner to the place Sean has been pining over for the last year, White Spot. I still say they have the best burgers I’ve ever eaten.

Sean and I went to The National gig at Richards on Richards. Wow, they are fabulous live. If it weren’t for their awesome live performance, I wouldn’t have made it to the end, but they managed to keep 2 very jetlagged kids awake and loving it till the end. The lead singer, Matt is kinda bloody intense, but I knew he would be. At one point, he walked to the side of the stage, almost stood on the bar and got the barman to pour him another drink. As impressive as the frontman is, he doesn’t take away from the rest of the band. They are amazingly tight, in your face and bring a soaring to finish to every song. Just incredible. Hopefully they will make it to Australia someday!

Today was mega sleep in time, with a couple of walks around Wisteria Lane and quality time with Sean’s fam and new pooch!

Tomorrow is Canada Day…party time in the ole ‘Couv!
