Leaving Vancouver

I can already tell I won't be able to post as often as I'd like. The days whiz by and there hasn't been any time away from the tasks at hand except to get food or run errands. Last weekend was filled entirely by a financial seminar held by Peak Potentials. I've never attended any kind of class on personal finance and I'm surprised at how much it actually changed my thinking regarding it. I realized I've always focused on educating myself in every area but this one. D'oh!
We stayed at the Hilton in Metrotown which also served as the venue for the event. On breaks we waddled into the mall attached to the hotel, whisking us away to the other side of the Pacific. The stores, food court and market were ripe with various Asian delights. Add rain and you'd be an extra in Blade Runner.
The end of the an inspiring weekend brought drama, which actually wasn't caused by me for a change, and a new hotel. I'm surprised at the miscommunication and sensitivity in business dealings. It's thick with day time hullabaloo. Actually there's been some form of it every day, I swear I'm not behind it. We moved over to the Patricia Hotel. We wanted a cheap place anywhere but on the street with the crack heads. Wouldn't you know it, that's where we ended up. The funny part is the hotel isn't that bad, actually it's been pretty great, aside from catching the cleaning ladies sneaking my laundry change. We have the lobby to ourselves to work, the staff is very helpful and Pat's Pub is just a walk down the hallway.
Tomorrow we leave for Calgary, then head to Edmonton. Cold Country Canada.
