Creator's Key Takeaways

I stayed at the River Rock Casino Hotel by Vancouver airport for two nights and then I made my way down to downtown Vancouver to board the ship

what a cluster okay no that was a bust so I'm going to try going this way and head around that way because yeah you saw the Canada places right there but a you can't get there from here situation

I did not feel unsafe at any time so take that as you will lots of families with kids and strollers on the train if parents are safe well you know what probably okay

I am thankful for my problems and yes yes I know I know I know but I live in Florida come on what do you expect
