Arrival in Vancouver was beautiful today! It was a little cloudy but turned in to a bright sunny day. We boarded our private coach and made a stop at the Olympic Cauldron. It was neat to see and it was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be! Then we headed up toward Whistler resort. On the way we stopped at Shannon Falls which was breathtaking. The Fairmont Chateau Whistler is an elegant resort. There is a Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Center that was a sight to see. We met the hotel staff and were taken on a tour of the facility! The rooms are so nice and some have slope views with the chairlift right outside the window. We were treated to a 4 course meal that was superb. Get to go ziplining tomorrow!!! Oh yea...it is cold and all I brought were capri pants and short sleeves with a windbreaker!!
