We arrived in Vancouver at about 11:00 pm and went straight to the hotel to rest up for our first day of vacation. The Coast Vancouver Airport Hotel was easy to find but I'm glad we only had to spend a few hours there. Their keycard system was on the fritz so we had to be escorted up to our room. When we made it inside, the walls were thin enough to hear highway traffic and other hotel guests. Luckily we were pretty tired and fell asleep quickly. We left our Vancouver hotel at 7:00 to catch the 8:30 ferry to Victoria. A short cab ride brought us to the station and we were on our way to Swartz ...

We got to Portland at 11:00 AM to find the sun sneaking through the clouds with the temperature around 55.

Wednesday, November 19th. The movers are finished packing and are loading the truck. We go to get the wire transfer for today's closing this morning at 9. The Fox Point building inspector comes by at 10 AM, judges us to be within compliance (yay!). We sell off our old dresser at 11 - too big to fit in the new place. By 1 PM, everything is ready to go. Down to sign the closing papers at 2:30, and by 4:00 we are the proud owners of a new home in Seattle (along with the one in Wisconsin). Next we went back to pick up Miranda from the Ellegards. A few teary good byes and we are on the road to Seat...
