caithreamSINCE we are only 18 days out from going to Seattle/Vancouver (!!!!), we should probably get on this whole plan-making thing.
SO, OKAY. Chrissy and I have mostly talked about this, and I think both her and Lauren have talked about this, and Kate's just dreaming about FOOD, haha, so if anyone has any problems with this, let me know! This is purely tentative, so, you know. WHATEVS.
Wednesday: I get in at 6pm, Chrissy at 10pm, Kate at whenever she pulls up into the driveway. Flailing ensues! YAY.
Thursday: Seattle tourist day! I GUESS. Chrissy and I still can't figure out what to do. We could always go to Pike's again, or we could take a ferry to one of the outer islands and so something there (I hear there's a lot to do), or go to the Starbucks headquarters (HEE HEE), or there's Seattle Underground, or... lots of stuff. Anyone have any suggestions? 'Cause otherwise we'll be at Lauren's all day going "What do you want to do?" "I don't know, what do YOU want to do?" AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT TURNS OUT.
So, yes, doing something during the day, and then to Lauren's mum's house for birthday dinner! YAY. And then watching the EPIC EPICNESS of Supernatural as it comes back from the hiatus together! OMFG YAAAAAY!
Friday: Get up early! SERIOUSLY, GET UP EARLY. Drive up to and through the border and hit Granville Island! (Seeing as how it'll take us around three hours just to get there, with going through border patrol and all, we really don't want to get going too late.) Shop at the GLORIOUS GLORIOUS food market (see! eating! WE WILL BE EATING). Check in time at our lovely hotel is at 3pm, so we'll have a good handful of time to look around.
After check-in, we figured we could start checking out more of the places where they have filmed. I've still got a bit of a list, so we can take our time with that, look around.
Later that night we figured we could go to The Eatery that the awesome![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musical_emjay suggested! ALSO, I figured that if anyone in the Seattle/Vancouver area wanted to meet up, this would be the perfect time to do it! If you're interested, let me know. I'm bringing my laptop with me so I'll definitely post the specific details beforehand.
Saturday and Sunday: HMMMmm. With these days we might have to switch things around depending on the weather and whatnot. BUT, either way, one day we'll be going to Grouse Mountain, and one day we'll be driving up to Squamish. At Grouse you can apparently get a Gen Admission ticket and it covers everything from snowshoeing to ice skating. I don't know exactly how much snow there'll be left on the ground to go snowshoeing, but HAHA I might kill myself laughing at all of us going ice skating together. WE ARE DOING IT, OKAY.
ALSO, in Squamish, we really hadn't got to far in deciding what to do besides seeing where they filmed in "Wishful Thinking" (YEAH YEAH SHUT UP), but it's apparently GORGEOUS there (seriously, guys, I looked on Flickr, and there might be tears), and there's a bunch of more outdoor-sy type attractions, including a helicopter tour, DUDE. So yeah, we definitely need to figure that out too.
Monday: Still kind of a blank page too. Definitely want to check out the noodle house Chrissy wanted to visit if we still haven't done it already. Mmm, noodles. We were also thinking about going to the Vancouver Aquarium because they have ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS, and for $25 Canadian we can PLAY WITH SEA OTTERS. ♥_♥ So, yes, I guess Monday can be reserved for all the sets we didn't visit and then whatever else we feel like doing!
Tuesday: I leave SeaTac at 11am. BOO. And then we wait until July, when we'll hopefully be able to see each other again. Sadface!
Like I said, tentative, but at least it's more of a reference than last time we went, haha. If anyone knows of any other awesome fun things to do in the area, let me know! :D
HAHA, I talked with my sister last night and told her we were leaving to go to Vancouver soon and it pretty much went like:
Her: SARAH. DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S FILMING IN VANCOUVER WHEN YOU'LL BE THERE.
Me: Oh my God, if you say Twilight-
HER: TWILIGHT!!!!!!
Me: You know, there's a totally different set we'll be looking for, so-
Her: You HAVE to look for them filming. And tell me if you do. OH MY GOSH, YOU CAN GO TO FORKS. SARAH, GO TO FORKS AND BUY ME A TWILIGHT SHIRT OKAY?
Me: ...I love you.
HAHA aw. The tables have turned! She used to give me the wtf eye whenever I had some serious flail about certain things, so now that she apparently likes Twilight so much, I can tease her about it. (But still, Twilight? Twilight? SIGH.)
Speaking of serious flail, OH MY GOD, SPN PROMO. OH MY GOD. Me rolling around on the floor having seizures does not even COVER IT.

Date: 2009-02-24 03:03 am (UTC)And thanks for the all the other recommendations! Now we have so much to choose from, haha.
We're gonna be hopping around so much the day we'll be in Seattle that I don't know exactly what time we'll be wherever, but if we DO settle down somewhere to get a bite I'll send an LJ text to give you (and others) the heads up! :D
