The Canada/USA border isn't that far from Vancouver, yet I don't find myself crossing it too often. This past long weekend, in part, reminded me why it isn't always best to do via sea or land. Two friends and I decided to do a one-night relocation cruise down to Seattle, which was an exciting prospect. The cruise ship experience didn't quite live up to our expectations mostly due to the length of time it took us to get on and off of it. There were definitely elements of the cruise that were pretty cool like watching the sunset from one the top decks, enjoying a delicious dinner and yummy cocktails as well as the enormity of the ship itself. I am just not sure if I could do a real cruise, but I still might consider an Alaskan one.
Seattle was enjoyable as always, especially considering it was supposed to rain all weekend. We enjoyed some shopping, The Cheesecake Factory and the duck tour.
Our trek home via bus was full of more waiting at the border and cemented two thoughts for me - that the May long weekend could be better spent in Vancouver instead of being a part of the mass exodus and also that the best ways to travel are via planes, trains and automobiles.
