NOTES

• Feeling better but body still producing phlegm so not out of the woods yet...but much improved
• Two random artists not sure I mentioned:
• Les Finnigan - Guitar player on Granville Island
• Kaori Kasai - artist
• Called Toyota of Vacaville twice and finally got a callback saying the car was ready for pickup
• Finished watching Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - Air Canada charged for the headphones this trip, but they didn't on the previous flight (?)
• Bittersweet to leave Vancouver
• Public transportation just so seamless: Expo line to Richmond–Brighouse line to YVR...very easy and fast
• Missed opportunity to eat Tim Horton's smores donut...found two Tim Horton's in the USA departures terminal but one closed and the other sold out of them
• Skwachays Healing Lodge
• Viewed Smudge room and Sweat lodge patio; staff member helpfully volunteered to let us see it
• Has 7th floor, but rooms accessed via door on the 6th floor...that is, 6th floor rooms stacked...room 606 on 6th floor, but room 607, with entrance door right next to room 606, requires walking up stairs to 7th floor
• Samsung in-room audio speakers paired perfectly with our S7 Galaxy phone...listened to RHCP a bit
• Staff super-helpful; wish we had the $30,000 to buy the beautiful wooden artwork in the gallery
• Food:
• Skwachays: mini quiche, sweet breads, fry bread and cinnamon sugar fry bread, coffee, fruit yogurt jars
• Skyway Sandwiches: Veggie sandwich
• Starbucks: Chocolate loaf, americano decaf
• Penny Ice Creamery: Chocolate sorbet, Verve Coffee with chocolate almond praline, in a bowl with crushed waffle cone on top
• Supper: at home, Boomerangs (Australian hand pies)
