Weekend in Vancouver | DAY 3 - Journey Back Home

6/7/2015

 
The flight back could be considered one of the smoothest domestic flights I've ever experienced. Not only was the security check unbelievably quick (an extremely rare case for YVR), I was also able to consume a proper breakfast before boarding.
Pictured below: Raisin Bran with a slice of pineapple, Oikos Greek Yogurty with Honey, a glass of orange-apple juice, and a small hash brown accompanied by dollops of ketchup and jam (as I was unsure of what my dipping sauce preference would be).

After venturing into one of the gift shops and snapping this shot of adorable Snoopy-themed merchandise, I proceeded to board and seat myself into the most stunning economy seat I've ever seen.

There were even message pop-ups for passenger notifications!

Side note: While I didn't get a chance to visit this time around, I anticipate being able to stop by the Bella Gelateria (located just right outside Fairmont Pacific Rim) for some award-winning gelato in the future. Unfortunately, time was scarce and the lineup was just too long to account for in our tightly-packed schedule.

Weekend in Vancouver | DAY 2 - Burnaby Things: Cattle Cafe + Metrotown

6/6/2015

Having discovered Cattle Cafe last summer, I was more than eager to return to the restaurant for lunch the next day. But it wasn't until we called to make a reservation that we discovered that the Richmond location had closed down.
Consequently, we set out for their Burnaby location instead; this actually worked out quite well, as it allowed for a short period of shopping to be done at Metrotown before returning to Richmond to prepare for dinner.

The full album can be found HERE, though the various food items ordered on this visit are not specified. (It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what each member of the party orders, especially when some members are particularly stingy about having photos of their food captured. LIKE I DON'T THINK YOU LOSE ANYTHING FROM IT, BUT ALRIGHT, DO AS YOU WISH. SOMEONE CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW THE DRILL AROUND HERE.)

We headed over to Metrotown to pick up a few snacks afterward.

Weekend in Vancouver | DAY 1 - Journey to Vancouver + Copa Cafe

6/5/2015

 
My day was chaotic to say in the least. But that's what I get for deciding to still work at regular hours before a flight instead of taking the day off.

Lunch, though thoroughly unappealing in presentation, was surprisingly scrumptious. Coined the "Inside Out Burrito", the 'dish' consisted of regular burrito fillings on a bed of rice in place of a standard pita wrap. Guacamole could also be added for an additional seventy-five cents; it was worth it though - it was a perfect mix of mashed avocado, small avocado chunks, and the slight tangy-ness of lemon juice.

I later on also settled for a Mango Strawberry Smoothie and a Banana Loaf upon arriving at the airport after a long subway/bus ride.

In anticipation of TTC delays (which are more common than you'd think), I arrived approximately 2 hours before my flight. About half an hour before boarding, it was announced that passengers without a check-in baggage could choose to transfer onto another flight that was currently looking to fill up a few remaining seats. Hoping to reach my destination half an hour early so that I could eat dinner there as opposed to impulsively investing in airplane food, I switched on.
This proved to be a bad decision, and the pang of regret only got worse as the flight dragged on.
