The vancouver ski trip

Well, tomorrow I become a trans-provincial nomad by flying to vancouver. Now, some of you may say, how could you possibly blow all that money on a plane ticket when you could take the bus. Well, in response to that, I am taking hobo airlines. They don't even serve a meal on a 4 1/2 hour flight. You also don't get a movie or any headphones. Sarah once went through westjet hell and got stuck in Calgary for 8 hours and I said I would never fly westjet again, but they were the cheapest by far and I'm willing to bring a sandwich on the plane. Well, I guess you get what you pay for and I paid $300 round trip. The cheapest you can do it on the bus is $230, which if you include meals (and your time is completely worthless) will still come out to more than the flight.

I am planning on going skiing at Big White in Kelowna and staying in a very nice chalet. But, don't worry about me having even a temporary home. Sarah and I are getting a discount rate to not have a bedroom (alas, it is not the cost that is the primary reason, but rather the fact that I don't actually want to spend 7 days skiing and not having a bedroom makes things a lot more flexible). Vancouver is supposed to go up to 9 degrees tomorrow which will basically be heaven on earth. I am sick of my shoes always being wet with slush.
