Before We Leave

My todo list before leaving for Whistler: thermals swimwear Passport or birth certificate. Pepto chewables Contact lens solution Charge camera battery Charge GBA Pack toolkit

Other tips:

• Don't worry about getting Canadian currency before we leave. I usually just bring a bank ATM card and a credit card. The best exchange rate is through an ATM or credit card. There's an ATM right in the Village (and I'm sure all over Vancouver) where we can get our loonies.

Shuttle To Vancouver

We will probably take Greyhound from Vancouver. Its a 2.5 hour ride. Buses leave at 3:00, 5:00 and 7:00pm.
$22.50 (CAN?).
