Made it to Vancouver!!!

Just barely,  came across a few doubtful moments but we made it. It took us six and a half days to drive our little SUV and mini UHAUL trailer across the country. Being stopped several times and needing to reroute due to weather causing dangerous driving conditions. So dangerous in fact that our little trailer barely survived an ice attack when it ended up in the ditch on it's side. With no damage done to the vehicle, trailer or anything significant inside of the trailer, we took our time the rest of the way, never trying to squeeze in extra hours of driving when we knew it wasn't necessary.

Wish I could say it was one of those great Canadian road trips but the cold weather, terrible conditions, dirty motels and a three day stint of food poisoning half way through didn't really make for a dream vacation. Maybe I'm just being picky but I'd love to do the drive again one summer when I can actually get out of the car to see things other than the inside of a gas station toilet. 

So being back in VAN could not be any more rewarding right now. Looking forward to getting a solid couple nights of sleep before I shock the city with my impressive employability skills. Stay tuned.
