Erm, so..On Friday, August 22nd, 2008, marked the last day of Adam's internship at Microsoft. His family drove up from Vancouver on Friday night and we spent the next day wrapping adam's life in Seattle up. We drove back down to Vancouver in the evening and woke up on Sunday at 6am to tour around Vancouver. Monday began the journey towards Rockies and it mainly consisted of x waking up every morning between 5-6am with time changes between PST and MST, sitting in the tour bus for at least 6 hours a day with intermittent bathroom breaks, site breaks and meal breaks. We did not get to choose what time we get to eat so we'd sometimes have lunch at 10am, sometimes at 2pm, and similarly, dinner can be between 4pm and 8pm. Sometimes there would be only 3 hours between meals, sometimes 6.
Our meals were eaten with the group of 54 people in the tour and was mainly Chinese food, even in small in the middle of nowhere bfn towns the tour somehow manages to find that single chinese restaurant with white waitresses to serve us the same dishes over and over again. By the end of the trip, we were pretty scared of eating nasty cooked lettuce, sweet and sour pork, broccoli stirfry, and celery stirfry.
We visited 5-6 sites a day, but usually we get 15 minutes at each site and people would run down the bus and try to take as many pictures as time would allow. The maximum time we were able to stay off the bus was about an hour. By the time we reach the hotel at night, we dont have much time after dinner because we had to sleep as early as we can to wake up early. Needless to say, the week was a blur to all of us, as we would sleep on the bus only to be awaken by the tour guide telling us to get off the bus for bathroom, food, or picture taking at some site for 15 minutes.
Nevertheless, there are some very beautiful places that we visited and lots of nice pictures. Will post later :D
Here's a sneak preview:
