I was lucky enough to read [livejournal.com profile] conejita_diabla's journal yesterday and see that Westjet was having a seat sale for fall travel. I took advantage of this and I now have my itinerary for my Thanksgiving weekend trip to the left coast.
  • I'm leaving Calgary on Friday, October 9th at 10:30am and arriving in Vancouver at 10:53am (Westjet 447).
  • Spend Friday afternoon and evening exploring and socializing with my friends.
  • Stay at the Holiday Inn Express at Metrotown, because it's near all the cool kids.
  • Spend Saturday morning exploring and socializing with my friends.
  • Catch the 2pm ferry from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay.
  • Pick up my race package prior to 6pm. This is the only reason I'm catching such an early ferry.
  • Make my way to the Embassy Inn which is right next to the starting line! Drop off my stuff.
  • Explore Victoria for the remainder of the afternoon and evening. Find some carbs to eat.
  • Try to sleep.
  • Get up bright and early Sunday morning and run 22km.
  • Pray for the sweet sweet release of death.
  • Check out of the hotel.
  • Catch the 1:35pm from Victoria and return to Calgary at 3:50pm (Westjet 212).
Incidentally, the Embassy Inn is not only the most convenient hotel, it's also $100 cheaper then all the other nearby hotels. And that includes the "special rates" that the partner hotels are giving runners. Why are they not a partner hotel themselves? All I can think of is that they're hurting the other hotels' bottom line. Is that cynical of me?

In other news, I went to TDCT today.
"Hi, I'd like to do something silly. I need to deposit this check for six cents. Then I need to pay this bill for one cent. Then, just so I'm not a total douche, I'd like to deposit $160 to my savings account."
"No problem."
It's always nice to find service staff with a sense of humour.

Tonight, archery.
