Day 1 of our Vancouver/Alaska trip

On our first day traveling to Vancouver, BC, we didn't take many pictures or videos. We were primarily making sure we had all of our stuff and got to our flights on time. We had little trouble and our tickets were upgraded to first class.

We did see a beautiful sunrise in the BWI parking lot.

Once we got onto our first flight in the morning we were offered water or mimosas. We took the mimosas...of course. We were delightfully surprised to have them in REAL glasses,

According the United Airlines we were supposed to get a snack but it was more like a meal. Gina got the scrambled eggs. Again, our "snacks" were on real plates with real napkins and dinnerware. 

As we were approaching Vancouver we got some good views out the window.

Once we landed in Vancouver we caught the CanadaLine train from the airport to downtown then checked into our hotel. Our challenge now was to stay awake as long as we could. We got up at 4AM and went to bed at 8PM which was like 11PM at home. The bad part is that we were up at 4AM the next day.
