I'll probably have more in depth things to say about this trip in a while, but for now, the highlights.

Good

Visiting with assorted friends. As usual, that is the whole point of the trip. In particular, it was nice to have some quality time with ES (who stayed with me at my B&B for the first two nights), [livejournal.com profile] somejauntypolka, [livejournal.com profile] stephtopia and [livejournal.com profile] othelianna.

It's good that they have random encounters, but where are the bosses?

Saw thee decent movies. The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Wind Rises, and Frozen. Reviews of all three are forthcoming.

Had a couple of nice pub nights at Storm Crow, St. Augustine, and the improbably named Burrard Pub.

Restaurants included a mix of old (Clubhouse Sushi, Wooden Shoe, Red Ginger) and new (Saffron, All the sushi joints on Commercial)

Also did a lot of window shopping with Rosie/Kelly/Shannon. Found some great and quirky stores and also finally got to see the Vancouver Flea Market

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for flea

Read, relaxed, explored.

Bad

Didn't get to see Gareth or Ryan. That sucks.

Ugly

No depressive incidents. The only ugly thing really happened afterward, and that's my usual Vancouver homesickness. Except this time it's a lot worse. I'll write about that too, in the next few days. Suffice it to say that I'm scared of my options.
