First Day in Canada

Well on the 22nd of January 2011 at 12:05pm, I left Brisbane and after over 24hrs of travelling I arrived in Vancouver on the 22nd of January 2011 at 12:35pm. I hardly slept but that’s okay, I never sleep on planes. I was kind of out of it flying from Los Angeles to Vancouver, and so when the kind lady asked me if I wanted to drink, I could only nod. I really wanted Sprite Zero but she asked me if I wanted juice, so I just nodded and then she asked me if I wanted orange juice (I really wanted Sprite Zero) and I nodded. I was glad to get to Vancouver, and also surprised to find out I wasn’t too cold, until I spent a few hours at the Dog Club with Gabi,  then I was really cold!

We were lucky to get to Canada at all, about an hour before we were meant to leave for Canada, we didn’t have American visas. We didn’t know that we needed them because I haven’t travelled to the states since 2005, when you didn’t need visas and we were also travelling to Canada, only transferring through LA. But luckily we all got visas in time. For a while, I only had a visa and they were ready to send me to Canada alone! Not that I mind travelling alone, but I wasn’t really ready for it.

We were all tired last night, I think Gabi and Lance were too and we ordered in pizza. It was from a pizza place we have in Australia (Dominos) but it was DIFFERENT! They were bigger, and there was different flavours. Anyway, after that we decided to go to bed quite early – all of us quite tired and unfortunately I was really sick in the night and still tired! So everyone is out today, enjoying Canada and buying coats and I am at Gabi’s, watching “Catch Me if You Can”. It’s quite good, I also am enjoying Canada from the inside. Looking out the windows, I can see the grey sky and the bare trees and it looks rather chilly outside, very different from Australia but I really like it. I like the cold, a lot more than the heat. And I really like Canada.
