Well, Vitti and I are off to Canada!
Romano drove us to the airport.
We left the house at 10 am because we had to be in Pisa by 11 am.
Our flight was at 1:15 pm.
When we checked in Vitti and I got a nifty voucher for the VIP lounge at the Pisa airport...which we
looked for but never found.
We were seated in first class even on the short flight from Pisa to London! 
Never had that happen before!
The food was great! I had a shrimp skewer and Vitti had chicken and pasta.
We got to London on time and got thru customs quickly as well.
No line ups!
Vitti even managed to find a Bubble Tea at the airport. 
On our flight to Vancouver we were seated on the upper deck of the Boeing 747! 
That too was a first!
It is much nicer up there with fewer people.
Again, the food was great! 
Vitti had a really stuffy nose though during the bight and had trouble sleeping. We don't think it was allergies, maybe just the air in the plane.

We got to Vancouver on time and passed through customs quickly.
We took a taxi from the airport to our hotel.
Talkative lil guy he was... He did not say one word from the airport to the hotel.
Never had that happen before. For a minute I thought he was deaf as he was not answering any of my questions about the weather.. So I yelled at him.
He then answered.. But only in monosyllables.. Oh, well. 
Our suite at the hotel is nice. Not huge but a bit more modern then the. Rosellen. 
The cool part is the view form our 16th floor apartment. It's a wonderful view of the city!
I spent the first evening just taking photos! 
Another cool point, well for Vitti, is that we are right in front of KFC!
Not that we want to eat too much of that stuff. The smell is nice though.
No, really, being on Davie is a bit different for us. The Rosellen was so quiet way down on Barclay near Stanley Park. Here, we are in the heart of Davie Village! Lots going on! Lots of shops and restaurants.
Heck, we got not one but two Starbucks near us!
