Change of plan for Day 1 !

Well we said it was an adventure! We were on the way to San Diego airport yesterday and Maurice picks upa 5 minute phone message from our driver Scott who had problems entering Canada. So we're in Canada but our landrover and trailor are in the states ! So we taxi from Vancouver airport to hotel and Maurice goes to border to get the landrover and trailor!

Team meeting last night concluded that we will drive out of Vancouver closer to the border and start our journey from there. That way we will miss the Vancouver rush hour and get the car back to Scott who stayed in the states last night.

Interesting start! Anyway, it's 6am here and we are just packing up before breakfast and head off in an hour.
