The Greyhound to Whistler.....

Wow, my first ever Greyhound trip! 15 bucks, friendly service, a beautiful 2 hour ride up north and some Canadian university girls to talk to on the coach! You can't beat it!

Still awaiting our first bit of snow as it was 10 degrees and way hotter than the UK when got over there, and it was pretty grey and uninviting in Vancouver, so it was good to get out!

Adding to the excitement was our new South ASfrican friend, Brendan who had only seen snow once,so was getting more and more excited as we got to the snow line!

I couldn't beleive that after alll the planning and wating, I'd finally made it to Whistler! Such a big feeling of relief, and the knowledge that for a month at least could kick back and relax without having to worry too much!

Felt even better when we got to our Condo. SOunded pretty good, but when we got there it was cool - 8 people, four bedroom condo, with only three people staying in it. Get in there. There's a hot tub shared amongst the appartment complex, and it has all t he mod cons inside, plus a room each - we totally lucked out!

Felt even better to get our season passes. Trust me, these are the key to becoming treated with way more respect, and generally feeling like a local! All the people in the shops are friendlier and you get to know them quicker, all the lifties chat with you, and you feel like one of the crowd straight away!
