After four years of planning, we are finally on our way. We left home at 5:30 and were at Gatwick just after 7 – some sort of record, we think!
We fly to Calgary and drive to Lake Louise, for our first three nights, before heading to Vancouver via Jasper, Kamloops and Whistler. There is white water rafting, kayaking and zip lining to be experienced on the way.
From Vancouver, we take the ferry down to Seattle for a couple of nights before finishing our holiday on Vancouver Island, in Victoria.
We are flying with budget airline WestJet which saved us a fortune, I’m sure we’ll let you know whether that was a sound decision!
Our first crisis has been telling Matt that data costs £5 a megabyte in North America, cue frantic checking of phones.
