Before I fly
Just a first update on my movements and happenings - travelling to Canada (and beyond).
A flight
I'm due to fly out first thing tomorrow morning (Flight C34 Air Canada @0925), so wish me luck for customs! It's a 14 hour flight to Vancouver, with a refuelling stop in Honolulu. Somehow or other we beat the sun and I'll actually be arriving a few hours before I leave. I think that's really going to mess with my head.
Then where?
I've got 3 days in Vancouver to establish myself and what not. From there I'm flying to Kelowna in British Columbia on Saturday. It's a summer town of around 100,000. The area is best known for it's produce and wine. Staying there overnight, then onto the mountain on Sunday (http://www.bigwhite.com).
The guys i'm staying with seem pretty cool.
* Jae and Josh are working night shift and skiing by day (some people have all the luck!). They're friends from TPG doing some kind of IT-type server maintenance.
* Dave is doing ski repair. He's a mechanic by trade
and likes a beer.
We've got an apartment in the heart of the ski village. Apparently it's very comfy and they're looking forward to me turning up to pay rent. Nice to be wanted!
Looking forward to seeing the snow. Not so sure how I'm going to cope with the cold.
