Trip - 2012 West Coast - Highlights

I took a trip to the West Coast for mid-April 2012

Our stops were Calgary YYC - Lake Louise - Jasper - Banff - Calgary YYC - Vancouver YVR - Victoria - Vancouver
We had 8 adults plus 3 children in total, plus 10+ luggages

Before I start with details in future blog posts, here are some highlights I can recall

  • Asian people really love the snow :)  
  • 15-passenger vans are hard to find but they are useful, especially when you have so many people and luggages. It is long, tall, and eats gas
  • Thank you American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts (AMEX FHR) for the upgrades and free breakfast/dinner. The Lake Louise upgrade would forever be remembered
    • As an added bonus, I earned points & miles, and Fairmont Platinum!!)
  • We saw tons of wild life close up (no bear though) - sheep, goat, deer, elk 
  • There were some amazing sights
    • Victoria's Butchart Garden - breathtaking
    • Rocky Mountains covered with snow - stunning
    • Children playing with each other - just make an adult trip more real/fun 
  • Ella was so good this trip that everyone was amazed by her, and she made our trip a lot more fun 

Thanks all for making this trip happen, and more to come
