Sunday, July 21st

Left the hotel at 7:15 a.m.  The bus got on the ferry to get off Vancouver Island and back to the main land. We made a few stops, but the most impressive was the awesome Shannon Falls.  We were on the Trans-Canadian highway that goes all across Canada.  

We arrived at the beautiful 5 Star Fairmont Chateau Whistler late afternoon, our home for the next two nights!  

After settling in, we took the hotel bus into town to eat, walk around, and have ice cream!

I thought the price of gas was interesting!                    Vern just sent me this picture of the
Canadian dollars, of course.                                          bus going onto the ferry to cross the
 1 CAD=0.727472 US.                                                  Straight of Georgia this morning.
And, liters as well.  
1 US gallon is equal to 3.785411784 liter.  
Hmmm….you learned a little something 
reading this!



This is such an unbelievable vacation so far.  Each day has been a wonderful experience with wonderful friends!

What a day!  We started today by taking a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain and having breakfast there.  It was a great breakfast ...
