I am writing this post from the lobby of the Metropolitan Hotel, Vancouver. This is our second day and we have done sooo much. In this post I will just tell you some of the many amazing things we have done so far.
We arrived in Heathrow Terminal 5 at about 2:30 pm. The new terminal was very nice, airy and modern. I will not go into any detail about checking in etc. as its not very interesting. Our flight was not very delayed and we took off soon after we were scheduled to.
The kids were all very excited as we were taking our first trip in premium economy, a real treat for all of us. We had the front seats in our small, quiet cabin which meant LOTS of legroom. We had 'On Demand' TV and we occupied ourselves watching loads of great films.
During the flight we passed over Greenland and saw stunning snow covered mountains. Both Rebecca and William crowded round the tiny window to take some pictures of the dramatic scenery.
We arrived in Vancouver 9 hours later and were greeted by a beautiful airport with water features dotted around as well as native american totem poles. We were shocked by how calm and kind the Canadians were compared to Brits and Americans!
After we had sailed through the airport we had a lovely surprise - a black stretched limo was waiting for us outside. We took in the scenery as we had a short journey to our hotel.
Once we were at the hotel we checked in and the children all received adorable canadian teddy bears!! Upon finding our suite we were greeted with another wonderful surprise, on the table in our room, was a plate of four giant cookies each with faces of chocolate on and four glasses of ice-cold milk!
Tired but content we settled down into our king-sized beds for a lovely nights sleep. We recovered well from our jet lag and awoke at 8am the next morning.

YOU CRAZY SLEEPLESS STALKER!!!
It was a nostalgia fest on the plane for me. Watched Wimbledon Greats - the story of Billie-Jean King, Manhattan by Woody Allen, listened to Eric Clapton, The Eagles, Led Zepp etc. Just to prove I'm a with-it modern Dad, also took in for the first time Torchwood and The Adventures of Sarah-Jane (although some of still remember Elizabeth Sladen in her original Pertwee-accompanying role - she's wearing well and qualifies as a DAILF).
