Paul & Cath
on holteend's travel map.
Paul decided that as today was going to be our last day he would spend it by sitting around the hotel all day and not bother going to Vancouver!
Catherine went out for a couple of hours to look for a new coat - unfortunately she didn't find one but still came back with a new handbag. While she was gone Paul just watched TV. Catherine brought back some lunch and after eating that we went down to the Big Red Box and cleared out all of our stuff. We then went back up to the room and squeezed all of our things into Ryan and Britney and two other bags we bought.
We then printed off all of our flight details and Paul realised that we hadn't had the usual flight confirmation through - he called Continental who said that we were not booked onto the flight because that card payment was still pending - Paul gave her the card number again and the lady said that we should get the confirmation via email shortly.
After that we took our faithful car back to the Alamo rental place and handed over the keys - we ended up paying an extra $500 than we were quoted because Catherine signed up to all of the extra insurance and everything else you could think of. Paul had a bit of a go at her and she replied 'Yeah but if we broke down we had roadside assistance paid for' Paul made the valid point that we didn't even have a number to cal if we did break down!
On that way back we stopped by Nike town and Paul bought a new iPod and got us both one of the Nike+ systems for when we get back. We then went to the cinema to see 'We Own The Night' it was quite good - as it was our last night and our keep fit regime is almost on us we had popcorn, sweets and pop! After the film we went into a bar that had loads of video games in - we had a drink and played a couple of games of darts on a machine that they had there. We then went back to the hotel and finished packing and Paul set up his iPod.
We realised that we still didn't have the tickets for the flight tomorrow. After speaking to a couple of people they assured us that even though we had not paid for the flight we would have seats saved for us - fingers crossed! We then went to bed ready for an early start tomorrow.
