CFB on tour, Vancouver, Waikiki, North Shore, Seattle. All in a single thread March 2023.

INTRODUCTION.

I use a rather different approach to Trip reporting. I will be taking the first 20 or so post lines in order to firstly stick to single thread reporting and secondly in order that the whole trip will read as a continuous ‘storybook’ from start to finish, uninterrupted upon completion. As always, I will always be filling it out ‘live’ and again as always, will endeavour to answer any and every comment within the day.

I confess that whilst initial updates to such threads can be scrubby due to tiredness and time shortage, I repeatedly return to them in the hours, days, weeks and months that follow, refining them, removing duplication of words adding to perception and hopefully, humour, adding photographs, correcting Grammar etc.
Hopefully by around August, I will have a final, polished product!

Each day, I will retitle the thread to reflect that days adventure and the # number, also adding a further advisory post in order to bump the Trippie back up to the top. Does that make sense?

The vacation commences on 19 March 2023 and will be taking in the following.. Vancouver, Oahu and Seattle.


This is a link to my PRE TRIP REPORT. for the vacation.

I simply use the pre trip in order to create the vacation, adding and altering things as I go along and editing the pre trip as the planning ‘pads things out’. It is in effect, my working copy for planning.

Day 1. The arduous journey from Penryn to Heathrow, Sunday 19 march 2023 .. or ‘The Wheels on the bus go round and round’, by Mad Donna.

After Flybe went bust (yet again) and our flights were cancelled, we had to make alternative arrangements… National Express alternative arrangements.

PACKING PRIOR TO DEPARTURE (A serious bit)

Well, packing commenced a few days before we were due to leave home. I am a vociferous and outspoken proponent of the virtues of Handbaggage only. We are flying out with BA (albeit through an American Airlines codeshare ticket that saved us £90pp over the best price of BA),
BA allowances are generous with both hand baggage and a carry on bag.
Whilst on this occasion we have an allowance of Hold Luggage on our Long Haul flights, we chose not to use it for the following reasons.

1. Speed over the ground from the moment we leave our home, Coach- Bus to Hotel- Bus to Airport- Check in - Arrival and exit etc etc etc.
2. Speed through immigration and customs on arrival as no baggage reclaim.
3. Savings on our later, short haul flights.
4. We simply don’t need that much luggage in any case and in addition, have ample room for purchases.

We are flying out with BA..
On to Honolulu with Air Canada.
To Seattle with Alaska Airlines.
Home to LHR with AA.
The only weight limits anywhere are 23kg with BA, both Hand and carry on bags.

With the above in mind, here is my luggage… (and the ends of my toes in my second image)… It is my trusty ‘Roxy’ suitcase, as I am rather in touch with my feminine Side 😎

That bag contains (all pre ironed and very tightly rolled)..…
Reefs and Sand Shoes (for the Beach and Snorkelling).
Mask and Snorkel.
Box with Satnav and Olympus TG-4 underwater Camera plus assorted leads.
11x Shirts, Polo, Collared, Tee etc.
3 x Cargo Shorts
1 x Levi’s.
1x Dress (not mine).
7 x Underpants (mine).
5 x Socks
1 x Swimming Trunks (Bay watch ‘Hoff’ specials in red)
1 x Washbag, Shield Soap for shaving, Toothbrush, Razors etc etc.

You will note that there are no Towels. I also still have a fair bit of room left that may be taken up by Levi 505’s coming home… space, which I have no doubt that Mandie has her eye on.

In addition to the above, I will have a small, soft backpack that will contain my A5 Documents folder, my IPad (for updating the trip report) and also, anything that I might purchase.

My backpack, A5 Folder and Baseball Cap to .. replace the Fatface one that fell off my head whilst on SW Infinity Falls on Day 12 of my vacation last Easter. I miss that Baseball Cap and here is the last known image of it, around 5 seconds before it came off my head, never to be seen again, despite the best efforts of several kind Dibbers at the lost property kiosk on subsequent days..

Mandies packing? She is rather private and will not divulge!

Sunday morning and I was awake, alert, excited (I couldn’t think of another word beginning with ‘A’) and generally ready to start at 0530. Mandie was not. Time for a bath!

I picked up a message from KarenG that warmed my heart (I have one), offering the use of her driveway in Exeter if it helped us with the journey to LHR. Regrettably plans are all in place, but it reminded me of just how kind and generous, some DIBBERS can be.

TRAVEL AND ARRIVAL AT LHR.

The National Express journey to LHR was.. an experience.
We were picked up on time from Penryn Bridge.. about 250 yds from our home.

And the long journey commenced. It was very long indeed, 7.5 hrs to Heathrow Bus Station, the (free) Train from T2 to T5 and then the 423 bus from Stand 6 (£1.65 on tap and go) to the Premier Inn. The stop is the second one out and is called the Thistle Hotel.

Check in was accomplished with the normal Prem Inn Polish (in both efficiency and Nationality). It was dinner on the meal deal £53.98 for the pair of us! Now to the..

FOOD REPORT!

We were shown to our table in a very busy restaurant (I guess that they have a captive audience of overnight stayers, pre or post flight).

Standard Premier Inn food, promptly served and well cooked… this is where my food report may start to disappoint the gourmandisers (I got that word from the infamous CBGB bar awning in New York). I was a tad hungry!

For starter, I had 5x Piri piri chicken wings.. excellent, although the actual Chickens may well have been flightless with these undersized limbs. (Do wings count as limbs?).

I only just remembered to photograph them.. nearly.
Mandie had Calamari that I managed to sneak into shot as she doesn’t like me photographing food.

For mains, I had a 8oz, rare Sirloin Steak (which was around 7.5 oz when you cut the fat off.. very good, though with just a £2 supplement. Mandie had the same.

I almost forgot to photograph this bit..

For dessert, I had the Chocolate Caramel Sundae and Mandie the Sticky Toffee pudding (£2 supplement for a third course, which is clearly a bargain).

It was a bit bigger, but by this time I had eaten the Flake, the whipped cream and the Cadbury’s Caramel Buttons x5. You will simply have to use your imagination.

The Cider was also lovely, a Bulmers, with Condensation running down the sides of the glass and tasting very strongly of Apples, namely Somerset Redstreak, Tremlett's Bitter and Jonagold Apples to be exact.. with perhaps just a hint of Haze to provide that bit of Zest. There was perhaps 2mm of froth on top when served, that rapidly dissipated in the few seconds before it disappeared down my open throat .. Mandies Coke was rather nice, I am reliably informed.

So.. £53.98 + £8 and with a breakfast to come! This is truly excellent value as well as carrying my heartfelt and unreserved recommendation, (that I feel sure is crucially important to the Whitbread Mandarins).
And now it is to bed in order to watch Nick Knowles visit to Death Valley at 2100, followed by Arsenal’s glorious 4-1 victory on MOTD.. without Mr Lineker.

Good night!

P.S Nick Knowles was a little flat, but Arsenal… as Magnificent as that Pint of Bulmers!

Day 2 flight to Vancouver and the long awaited reunion. Monday 20 March 2023… or ‘Leaving on a jet plane’ by John Denver.

As is normal when excitement takes over, I was awake early.. 0400 early and working out how not to awaken Mandie. A heavy bout of Candy Crush did the trick and before I knew it, 0700 was with us and I could give Mandie a nudge.

Our scrap clothing (shirts, leggings etc) were consigned to the bin and it was breakfast at 0830 (Breakfast at Prem Inn as opposed to Tiffany’s, who don’t actually do Breakfast in any case). We had nearly a whole day to kill before our flight at 1711 hrs.

Breakfast was standard, decent Premier Inn standard, no great queues and a pleasant experience. There are no photos as most/all know what a Prem Inn Breakfast looks like.
One downer was that I always start with the Fruit Salad with Compost on top and then, Strawberry Yoghurt on top of that. Some fiend had stolen all of the Grapes from the Fruit Salad. Needless to say, I was devastated as I normally get to do that!

The journey to departures was an absolute breeze, as we reaped the benefits of going hand baggage only..
423 Bus (£1.65) to T5, up to departures, boarding pass produced within a minute as there were no queues and then straight to Security.
The bag drop queues were rather large and once again, I felt utterly vindicated in my decision to travel light. We simply looked and smiled… rather smugly.

Security was a breeze also, no questions, bags straight through the XRay and neither of us required to stand in the booth with our hands above our heads, like when entering a Prison establishment.

Then it was Duty Free viewing as we waited for entry to the Premium Plaza Lounge at 1400. A Couple of bottles of Tarquins Cornish Gin were purchased for our forthcoming Hosts.

THE LOUNGE.
The Plaza Premium Lounge admission took a few minutes, but once in, we found practically every seat taken. The views are fantastic (as are many others in the T5 General departure areas for free) and it was relaxing.. but as a light drinker (one glass of wine) , I struggled to find value in a lukewarm Cambodian Chicken Curry with Rice and a couple of bread rolls as well as a tin of Fanta. £70 for the pair of us was in fact, lousy value, imho. As Roger Daltrey famously sang.. ‘We won’t get fooled again’. 😩

The somewhat murky view.

The architectural highlight of an otherwise rather drab experience. Their own, professional Photographers should be congratulated, as the Lounge looked nothing like their Photographs.

Next time, we are in agreement that we will give this Lounge stuff a miss. It simply ain’t our bag, Baby!

THE FLIGHT.
A B777 ER it was, as advertised.

Boarding was as always, a drawn out affair with the majority of pax standing around the gate entrance, despite repeated requests from staff to go away and sit down until their boarding group was called.
We politely/naively waited until Group 6 was called and eventually reached our exit row seats to find that all overhead bins were full in the vicinity. Most seats were also taken, even though we were in the first dozen through the gate when group 6 had been announced. Lesson learned.

It was an uneventful, pleasant flight with excellent cabin service as well as frequent snacks.

Main course (for you food lovers), was a rather Turgid Hunters Chicken with supposedly Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans, (nothing special), followed by Blackberry Apple Crumble with Custard and a pot of gritty Couscous stuff with Carrot in it? Mandie would not let me photograph it and thus, you are all doubtless disappointed.
The poor and deceased (or diseased) Chicken looked well hunted before death and indeed, had been ripped to shreds by whatever caught it. 5/10 for that.. and I normally like (outbound) Airline Food.

IFE was excellent and with a vast selection of films that I never watched, contenting myself with 3 x Aerial Americas that I had seen before (Hawaii, California, Virginia) as well as several hours of Angry Birds until completion of all levels available. I never slept at all!

Highlights through the cabin window (in the exit door) were few, but I got these two thrilling shots..

The ice shelf in Hudsons Bay.

The Canadian Rockies.

Then it was belts on and prepare for landing. It was a descent through cloud, smooth, good landing with a short taxi to gate.. then chaos.
I had to venture rearwards to recover our baggage. This should have been easy, but everybody became a ‘Sheeple’, standing up, blocking the aisle and impatiently waiting to get off.. even though we were 40 Rows back from the exit door and many minutes from disembarking. I too had to remain standing as I could not get back to my seat.

Eventually we were off, through the automated customs declaration booths and in the queue for Arrivals. I must say that the automated arrivals was simple, working really well. The queue moved quickly and unlike our experiences in the US, the questions at Immigration were cursory in the extreme. They had no interest in our ETA at all, no Retina Capture no Fingerprints either.

We were out, past baggage reclaim (just starting to deliver) and Bill was spotted in seconds. He hasn’t changed a great deal in 34 years at all. From exiting the Aircraft door to leaving the Terminal was around 40 minutes.

ARRIVAL (at Jen and Bills).
We are staying at White Rock, a suburb. The reception was warm and the wine nicely chilled. 34 years rolled away in typical ex Military style as we discussed the intervening years.
All too soon it was to bed at Midnight in a ‘guest apartment’ within Jen and Bill’s complex and a good nights sleep..
I woke at 0400 and again at 0600 as is par for the course with me after a Long Haul. Mandie would appear to have done considerably better. It is now 0700 and a new day awaits.. and contrary to predictions from cynics, it isn’t even raining!

You really would not have been impressed with the Crumble, Claire. The pot was the size of a School Inkwell and it had no discernible flavour. Mandie even gave me hers.. that I offered to swap with my gritty veggie type stuff.. she declined!

Day 3 Our first ever look at Greater Vancouver, guided by Jen and Bill. Tuesday 21 March 2023..

Our day started at 1000. As previously stated, we are staying in the guest suite of the block of Condo’s in which Jen and Bill live. We met up and were very soon out on the road.

Bill and Jen had decided to show us around the area in which they lived, giving us a true perspective of real life in the area.. and this seemed a brilliant idea!

First stop was Fort Langley, a total surprise to me. Fort Langley is a former fur trading outpost of the Hudsons Bay Company situated on the large, Fraser River and it reminded me very much of the Main St of Venice FL… only on a rather bigger scale. It was historic, quaint, pretty and a surprise.

Fort Langley Community Hall

Fort Langley, Main St, like Venice main street.

A very old Railway Carriage.

And then lunch..

At the rather lovely Wendell Bookstore.
The food was absolutely wonderful, Chicken and Mushroom Quesadillas and .. a Bee-sting Cake that I sneakily photographed just for ClaireNJ

.
A 🐝 sting is clearly a Cake, but the Cream layer was infused with Honey. Fantastic!

I had in fact just made a difficult choice out of many alternatives, as can be seen from this image of the Cake display.

Eat your heart out, ClaireNJ!

After a look at the Langley Fort Bridge over the Mighty Fraser River.. We were once again, on our way.. to a Vineyard.

Chaberton Winery in Langley, was a proper Vineyard with a rather nice shop and tasting experience..

Now we are no wine experts, purchasing in the £5-£7 range at Asda, and are generally attracted to a nice label, although we do have an integrated Wine Chiller in our Kitchen with spooky blue lighting, so are not complete Peasants… but this stuff was rather nice.
I have seen Wine tasting on TV and knew just how it is done.. but there was no swirling round, gargling and wastage by spitting, just sipping and to be perfectly honest, admiring some rather nice Wine! We moved on..

What was becoming increasingly apparent was the size of what I had interpreted as Vancouver. The urbanisation is huge in area, interspersed with Deciduous Trees, Conifers, Woodland, Farmland, Blueberry Fields, Golf Courses, Vineyards and the like. Some of the newbuild houses going up were magnificent and others .. tacky as well as ostentatious. There was certainly a lot of urbanisation going on, although informed planning consent did seem rather lacking, when compared with the hoops we must leap through in the UK.

We drove to White Rock, Bill and Jen’s home town. I was soon to learn how the place got its name.. there was a huge, white rock on the Foreshore!

A huge white Rock on the Foreshore, regrettably now painted, due to graffiti and vandalism. We were on the shores of the Pacific, looking across water to the United States.

White rock had a very long foreshore with an impressive, wooden pier… the longest in Canada, Mandie Reliably informs me!

An impressive, long wooden pier.

This is a view of the very pretty and clearly prosperous, White Rock.

White Rock from the Pier.

White Rock also had a railway line running along the length of the Foreshore and round to eventually after many miles, Vancouver. We were soon treated to a train, a huge train that rumbled along the single line at a Stately 12 MPH or so, pulled by 3 huge Locomotive Units. I guess that this freight train was 500 yds or more long.

We then moved on again, returning to Bill and Jen’s to get ready for the night’s entertainment, NHL Ice Hockey!

The Rogers Arena is situated in Downtown Vancouver and is home to the Vancouver Canucks, who were to play the Las Vegas Golden Knights.

Getting into town was a matter of driving into the area and parking up, two metro trains and then a very short walk to the Arena. That sounds simple, but the driving was clearly rather complex, nothing like the standard American grid of Avenues and Streets. I was simply glad that I was a Passenger!
The Metro was accessed by preloaded cards, of which Jen had several, tap to enter through automatic gates and tap as you leave, quick, modern, clean(ish) and efficient.

The arena was large, 19800 large and in two tiers. We were right at the top of the upper tier and the view was magnificent. There was all of the razzamatazz that one might expect at a North American Sporting event, over the top, brilliantly set, great lighting and simply impressive in itself.

The brilliant build up.

We stood to attention, had a good, solo as well as unaccompanied renditioning of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ , followed by ‘Oh Canada’ and the scene was set!

The game commenced, fast, aggressive, occasionally violent and simply a fantastic spectacle. Mandie simply marvelled that Bill and I had been privileged to play the game whilst stationed at Medicine Hat all those years ago .. (once they had taught us to skate).
We omitted to mention that our efforts were in no way comparable and simply at a vastly lower level as we concentrated on simply staying upright, yet alone occasionally chasing the Puck..

An image of the game. Unfortunately, a still frame cannot recapture an NHL Hockey league match.

One thing to bear in mind, fellow DIBBERS, is the Cash versus Card conundrum that we all frequently face. The arena was strictly card only.. and I had cash. Thankyou, Jen for the foot long dogs!

The score? Oh yeah, 4-3 to the Golden Knights.

A lasting memory of the event, was the Community aspect of what we had witnessed.
The Anthems and the respect shown to both.
The entertainment, with an 11 year old lad performing a couple of songs before this very large audience.
A lottery draw with a $198,000 accumulated total being split between the winner and a local Community Project.
Several mini events on the Ice involving underprivileged and disabled Children with fund raising.

Remembering that Hockey is the Canadian National Game, just like Football in the UK, the two bore no resemblance whatever. The Hockey was simply so ‘inclusive’ in comparison to Football.

Then it was an orderly exit and a reverse of the journey in. Mandie and I were tired.. very tired, but we had just had the most fantastic, amazing and enlightening day, seeing areas that in probability, are rarely seen by UK visitors to BC as well as gaining insight that would otherwise be absent.

Tomorrow.. we go downtown!

11635 Steps.
