Since this would be out last day in Vancouver I wanted to make it worthwhile. Checking out of the hotel by noon but we could leave our luggage for the day. We needed to be at the train station for 830 departure. It would seem the Sea Bus trip to Lonsdale Quay cost $1.75 per person. That sounds like a deal to me. Trip takes about 13 min in crossing. Probably about twice the size of the ferry boat to Center Island. I started a conversation with 3 young women sitting beside me. Such an interesting variety of cultures you meet while traveling. Much more by train or boat. People take the time to share their time opposed to air travel where we are assigned our allotted space. These 3 sisters were here from Saudi Arabia visiting their brother. I offered some suggestions to them and told them about my granddaughter who practices the Muslim faith also. They are around the same age as Victoria and pleased I took the time to speak to them. Later as we landed we met up with them by the fountain. Areej I think she is the oldest was so pleased and asked if we could exchange e-mail addresses. By this time the older brother was on the scene and I'm sure happy his sisters had someone else to talk to. I think they kind of wanted us to hang out with them but we did exchange and continued on our way.
