Vancouver, on stable ground! LOL


Day Four, Vancouver!!!! 
Got up, I slept so well I missed Kamloops and any stops we made last night.  Oh well, I am not too upset.  We are getting close to the coast and the river is very wide.  It even has ships on it!  Cool!  Got my stuff mostly packed and we went to breakfast.  Our last one, till we return of course.  We then headed back to finish up and watch our arrival into Vancouver.  We were stopped and I noticed some lovely wild roses at the side of the tracks.  So of course I took pictures!  LOL Pretty soon we were crossing a bridge into Vancouver and at the station!  We got off and had to wait for our checked bags.  Mom started back towards me with our bags and OMG!  My suitcase did not look well!  Ack!  It was wrecked!!!!  We took it over to the via rail counter where the manager took pictures and filled out a claim form to have it replaced.  He thinks the baggage handlers let it slip off the cart and ran over it.  NOT COOL!  They will have a new case for me on Sunday when we start homeward.    After we got that settled we got a taxi and headed to our hotel.  We got into our room and crashed.  All the travelling, excitement and stress caught us and we just died.  We had showers, dinner and got into bed really early.  It was so great to sleep in a real bed and not move.  LOL And that is not to say our beds on the train were not comfy cause they were.
