Made it to Vancouver!

Hey all,

Just wanted to do a quick update.  Roughly 13 hours after Douglas was kind enough to drop us off at the Charlotte airport, we have safely arrived in our Vancouver hotel room.

There were many life lessons learned during  the travel, including:

> The name change process kinda sucks.  If you've already bought your tickets under your maiden name, and then your passport expires before the rrip, expect to spend ~40 minutes trying to get your tickets changed to match your passport.  And that change can only be done day of travel.  And the resulting change negates your hard-earned airline status, because your new tickets don't match your US/American account.  As such, we could not walk on the super special boarding carpet.

>Cowboy Caio, in the award-winning terminal 4 of the Phoenix airport was surprisingly delicious.  Assuming I'm in the Phoenix airport, I would go back.

>Canadian customs?  Waaaaaaaay better than Belgian customs.

>I like our hotel (The Pacific Gateway).  It has one of my favorite mini shampoo brands, and was roughly 4 minutes from the airport.  Extremely important at 3:00 AM EST.

And now, exhaustion has set in, and I am out.  Lots more tomorrow, for sure.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
