Attended the Formula 1 race today with my buddy Sean. The race wasn’t nearly as busy as the Indy 500 was a few weeks ago, but it was fun none the less.

When you travel, do you do things differently?

For example, I often order tomato juice when I fly. I rarely drink tomato juice when I’m on the ground. But at 35,000 feet, it must taste better.

Yesterday was fun. We started the day by going on an ATV tour on some old logging trails. Nothing too serious, but Cameron and I did manage to catch some air.

On one occasion, Cameron said “You know, I could see how kids would fall off these things.” He then hit the gas, tried u-turn, and threw himself off the ATV. No harm done to either he or the machine, but it was a great delivery on his part.

Today, we drove back from Whistler to Vancouver. Right now, we’re in a coffee house in Gas Town before heading out to a small fishing village. I fly home tomorrow morning.

It’s been a fun trip.

Today was a good adventure day. This morning, we went kyacking down a river. Since it was only a class 1 rapid, it was mostly a nice, lazy cruise. But it was great way to spend the morning looking a ducks, mountains, and what not.

This afternoon we hit the ziplines. Five exactly, one of them spanning 1,100 feet across a glacier-fed river. It was a good time. Got some cool shots with the video camera as well.

Tomorrow we ride some ATVs. Should be a good time.

Vancouver has been great. It’s bigger and better than I expected. Surrounded by water, it’s towering mostly-glass apartment buildings give the city a real modern feel.

So far, we’ve explored may of the popular sites. On Saturday, we took a bus tour of the city, which gave us a good overview of the places we wanted to return to.

On Sunday, we explored Canada Place, which is a tent-like pier, where we saw a terrible Imax 3-D film. Afterward, we walked to Gas Town, a nice restaurant, bar, and shopping district. Following, we caught the last performance of a Cirque du Soleil show under the big tent. They are always great, and I hope to see the new show in New York/New York when I visit Las Vegas next month.

Monday, we visited their Aquarium. It was a pleasant surprise, for we didn’t expect it to be as nice as it really was. Packed with countless numbers of fish, and just as many kids, we killed several hours exploring this museum. That evening, my buddy Pat Haney and his girlfriend Sandy joined us for a nice dinner overlooking one of the city’s harbors.

Today, we depart Vancouver and head to Whistler. Our plan is to do some Kayaking, ziplines, ATV tours, and jet boating. Should be a lot of fun.
