Cruise Ship Season

I have had many Americans ask me how many cruise ships come to Vancouver each year, I think it is about 300 trips in total but I could be wrong. I found a site Vancouver Cruise Ship Information. It is not up to date yet but probably will be soon. I wonder how many Americans will show up this year with our dollar as it is. Will wait and see.

Ski Season 2007

Well its that time of the year aggain, snow is falling in Whistler. I have had a few job offers, For the the past two years I have driven for Classic Limousine Whistler and enjoyed it. But drivers are in big demand! Whistler Star Express and Whistler Limousine have called with offers. Wow its going to be a busy season I can feel it. I was told that it is taking 3 hours to get to Whistler from the airport now, dammmm construction. I will have to make my mind up in the next two weeks. I'll have to give my freind Laura Lee a call for help.

Its raining again

Did a trip to Whistler yesterday, rained up and down the highway. The only good part was working with Lauralee Bowie, world champion Skier. We met a lot of people and stayed at the New Four Seasons in Whistler. I got lots of calls that day for Whistler Limousine pricing.
Lots of skiers in Whistler now.

Vancouver to Whistler Limousine Story

this is my first post...not sure how much I will write, but I thought a blog would be a fun way to get my stories on 'paper'. Oh, I am a Vancouver limousine driver, been doing this for about 4 months now and never thought it would be so much fun.

Okay, my first post is about my recent limousine trip from Vancouver to Whistler. It was a late airport pickup at around 11pm; a couple flying in from Dallas going to Whistler for their honeymoon. Anyways when I picked them up they were like 'are you the Whistler limousine service guy?' by this time I could tell they had one too many drinks on the flight.

Anyaways, the 2 hour driver was very interesting to say the least. The kept drinking and started telling me stories about how they met at a restaurant and how they hit it off. They also told me they were going up to Whistler to go heli hiking and skiing.....very cool.

The night ended with a very nice $50 US tip, plus an invite to join them in the hot tub at their hotel.....which I would have accepted a few months ago, but I need this job for now to pay some bills (this will probably make a good post or two).
