so, we didn't actually end up leaving quite at 6:30am... it was more like 7:20, but still pretty respectable. we hit a little traffic in seattle, and then getting through vancouver took forever. there is no real highway that gets through the city - you're forced to drive right through downtown. they're doing a lot of construction to prepare for the winter olympics in 2010, and it just took forever. it was also slow getting past squamish & up to whistler. the whole trip took 8 hours. i drove the whole way from portland to just a bit past vancouver, then grumpily passed the wheel to j. i should've done it a long time before, but it just seemed like time would go faster if i were driving. i got really sore in the car, but my mood improved after we stopped at a gas station & j got a me a coffee crisp candy bar. a couple of bites wiped my frown away!
we stayed at the westin hotel - it was pretty luxurious.
