Arrived safe and sound

I arrived yesterday to a typical Vancouver rainy day after a pretty good flight - friendly staff, lots of empty seats so I could spread out. And I watched two movies - Amelia Earhart and Lave Happens, which both had a somewhat prophetic impression - but more about that in a later post. Today is just a quick one,, since the brain is a bit jet-lagged and I need to save the smart parts for my training at YVR this afternoon.

This morning, I woke up to beautiful sunny skies around and started out full of energy. Larraine, my first host, had put on a pot of coffees and left instructions for where things were. How easy it was to feel at home at her place - warm, welcoming, chatty and best of all - she's a red wine person!

I start my first shift at 2:30 so am heading out at 12 - the commute wiwll be long - about 85 minutes, but I also want to elave extra time for my first trip. I will also send you notes on the fabulous transit link they have here later. TTC could learn a lesson or two. And i will also take some pics tomorrow of the route so watch for those coming in a couple of days.

As I said - today is just a quick check-in and I am heading off to the bus stop very shortly so chat more soon,
Irene
