And we’re off!

P1090108

Monday we drove to Vancouver as our flight to Vietnam leaves from there this morning.  Arrived mid-afternoon so took the Skytrain into town and wandered around for a few hours, then had a delicious dinner at “Sanafir”, a tapas place recommended by Mackenzie:  spinach falafel, calamari (of course!), and tandoori prawns – yum!

P1090110

Arrived at YVR (Vancouver airport) early so we could obtain iris scans to complete our NEXUS/Trusted Traveler files for flying into the U.S. and Canada without having to wait in those darned Immigration lines that sometimes make you miss a connecting flight.  When we come back to Vancouver at the end of this trip, we’ll go to the Global Entry kiosk, and voila – we’re through!  Off to a good start.
