My last day in Vancouver was odd, with numerous missed-communications that ultimately didn't actually hurt anything.
The day started with me checking out of my suite. Beth said goodbye and once again apologized for the short ceilings. Meh, said I. I then wandered up Commercial wearing a full pack looking for a place to decamp for awhile while arranging breakfast and a place to store said pack.
I attempted Stormcrow again, but it was closed that early in the day. I ended up at JJ Bean. They, sadly, have a fairly limited menu (no diet pops for example) so I ended up ordering my first latte, gods forgive me. I fear I may have even (shudder) liked it.
I sat down and did a small amount of writing and a large amount of playing Freecell. I also ended up inviting myself and a bunch of others into S & J's birthday brunch partially by accident (they invited me, and I invited others, not realizing it was more exclusive that I thought). Thankfully I managed to pull out of that faux pas and a bunch of us ended up eating at the Red Wagon Cafe. This being in Vancouver's East Village (aka East Hastings but far enough East so as not to spook people). Nice place with decent diner fare as well as several menu items that seemed to be invented on a dare (pulled pork pancakes for example).
Afterward I hung out at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
somejauntypolka's house and watched most of the Avengers. It being a noisy movie I completely missed the fact that othelianna was trying to call me until it was almost too late. Along with chris9871, we had a nice sushi dinner, thus giving me a sushi rate of 80% while in Vancouver.
Ice cream and a quick jaunt to the airport and my trip was done. Or so I thought - the flight was delayed by two hours. On the bright side, this gave me some time to explore YVR (finding a nice mezzanine with plentiful tables and no people) and finish some SCA paperwork.
All in all a very enjoyable and very full trip. I can think of few ways to improve it that don't involve snugglebunnies.
