Day 1. San Diego here we come

Surprisingly this wasn't a bad start. Getting up at 345 and loading the car and on thee road was the start to what is sure to be a great trip. Comic con here I come.

Nothing like grabbing a timmies and a breakfast sandwich (ok it's a great way to start any day) while introducing Kyle to the delicacy mike called, apparently they slept in but thanks to Lisa’s internal alarm they got up just in time.

The flight to sunny Vancouver  was uneventful (a little joking from the bobsy twins helped pass the time) & for the first time Calgary security didn't decide that I was to be the random security check (random my ass).

Once in Vancouver we managed to find American customs. Mike even managed to have a run in with security, not Kyle trying to use a baggage cart as a surfboard, but mike taking a picture of it.

Once we hit sanding we decided to stop for a bite to eat at Hag grid’s restaurant (here) and now I can say I’ve eaten a fish taco and probably the last one I’ll ever eat. It’s really nice down here

Check this out, escalators outside I wonder what they do when it snows.

What a nice view from the hotel room right to the bay, and a view of the hotel pool & the hairy backed guests.

Ending a great day and trip we went to one of the coolest outdoor malls, Horton plaza, followed up by a great meal at the hard rock café (and now adding yet another shot glass to the collection).

Day 2. Still no internet

starting the day we raced out for breakfast finding an uber little deli about a block away great mushroom cheese omlette, and followed by a little nosing around the harbor (mental note, check it out later) hopping a bus to the zoo wow is all I can say (Pictures to follow) it was one of the most amazing zoos, we saw playful polar bears, proud zebras and meerkacs (insert obligatory joke about it)

followed up by geek Mecca when they tell you how good it is they are understating it, and especially when you get in and see how professionally set up they are your jaw will drop. Then into the dealers room we go, oh my lord I could spend days and days and a lot of money just wandering up and down this place.

Pictures of the con and the zoo to follow.

However now I go back to our room to figure out where to spend my time over the next few days.
