Got our hotel room booked for VanCon!!!!
Mom & I made the call this morning to the Best Western Downtown in Vancouver to reserve our room during our VanCon stay next month. Don't like it that we did it so late, but we've been busy. At least now we can breathe a little easier knowing that we have a room.
For those of you who don't know...the convention is held in the Sheraton Wall Centre hotel on Burrard Street in downtown Vancouver. We stay at the Best Western on Drake because A) it's a smaller hotel, B) it's more our style and not too fancy, C) White Spot restaurant!. It's about a 5 block walk for me between hotels, but I don't mind at all. So the walking I do for exercise is three-fold. I walk for health reasons, to lose weight for the con, and to prepare myself for this 5 block walk up in Van. ;)
Here's what our room basically looks like. It's nice and simple, just the way we like it. Best of all, if we get the same room we've gotten for the past 4 years, we have a great view of the Granville bridge. :)
We'll be checking in on Aug. 22nd (Thursday) and checking out on Aug. 28th (Wednesday). That gives us 2 1/2 days to location hunt after the con. Sweet! Just hope I don't get sick on the last day like last year.
VanCon's only 46 days away! Eeeeeeee!!!!!! :D
