VANCOUVER // SATURDAY

Saturday was my last full day in Vancouver. Luckily for my last day in the city, the weather was absolutely beautiful with no chance of rain!

VANCOUVER // FRIDAY

On Friday, Andrea and I kept it pretty chill. We slept in, stayed in... I unfortunately had to study for the midterms I had to write and do some assignments. It was a productive and relaxing day for the both of us really.

VANCOUVER // THURSDAY

Stanley Park / Rock Climbing

On Thursday, like most other days in Vancouver, it was calling for rain. Andrea and I decided to make the most of the day and brave the weather.

We started off the day nice and easy, we went to Metrotown to do a little shopping. I didn't pick up anything that day, but Andrea did aha!

After Metrotown we took the bus over to Stanley Park, and to our surprise the weather cleared up! The sun even came out, and as we walked over to Stanley Park all the luscious greenery made it appear to be spring in the middle of February. It reminded me of the type of weather I experience whenever I'd go to the States to visit family.

Unfortunately for me I forgot something...

LUSH SPA

While I was in Vancouver, Andrea and I made a schedule for everything we wanted to do during my visit. We really wanted to go to a spa for a treatment, but couldn't seem to find one in our budget or near by.

VANCOUVER PART III

On February 12th I ventured off to the airport, commencing my trip to Vancouver!! Around 5 pm before I was about to head out, the weather was incredibly snowy and I started to think that I might not have such an easy flight. Not to mention I was pretty anxious to begin with since it was my first time flying completely solo.

Anyways I'm waiting at my gate when the flight agent informs us that we can't take off until Toronto (who has having even WORSE weather) can properly receive us. Of course, naturally I start to get worried because I need to make to Toronto it in time to catch my connecting flight to Vancouver. So I call my dad and he assures me that even if I miss my connecting flight that the airline will reconnect me and I'll make it to Vancouver one way or another.

Long story short, my flight to Toronto gets delayed, I miss my connecting flight that night, and the airline isn't able to connect me until A DAY AND A HALF LATER! Fortunately for me, my parents don't live too far from the city and were able to come save me. As much of a inconvenience as it was to be delayed, I was pretty thankful and happy that I got to see my family before flying across the country.

Finally essentially two days later, I am FINALLY HERE, in VANCOUVER!! I'm feeling so blessed to have amazing family and friends who I can count on. Hopefully the good times start tonight, and I can start posting all our cool adventures throughout the week.

VANCOUVER PART II

Today is the day I take my first ever solo flight.

I'm so excited for the adventure to the other side of the country, but I'm also so anxious about my flight.

I know everything will be okay, and it's going to be an amazing week. I can't wait to explore my love for photography again in a province that is so beautiful.

Bon voyage.
