Whistler Limo

Whistler Season's Starting Soon

Haven't updated for a while, I've been pretty busy. Working at Vancouver Limousine can be pretty hectic sometimes, but I'm glad they have a flexible schedule. I mean, which other company lets you have days off when you want it? Which other company has nicer people in their office? The answer is none.

Okay. The other day, I got this job, and I had to pick up some guys in the super awesome white limousine (OMG, the best car ever.. after the SUV limo!), let's call them Bob from Toronto, David, and Lester. So they were on the phone with my boss, and they're all like... Yeah, so we're going to rent the limo for 2 guys and that they ONLY have 3 suitcases and 1 set of skis (They called when they were really drunk, ugh. you could hear the catcalling and frog horn blowing in the background). When I showed up, there were SIX drunken guys! Whoa... ! Plus they had 5 sets of skis / snowboards... and over 6 suitcases that I had to carry. I called my boss about this, how they totally lied about the job. Mid-sentence, Bob grabbed the phone away from me and started yelling at my boss, then he hung up! Then the phone rung, and I grabbed the phone back. My boss spoke to me and told me if they are verbally abusive to me that I should drive the limo away and apologize.. and leave the guys behind. So I followed his instructions. I took Bob's luggage out of the limousine and ignored his yelling "What the f*ck are you doing with my [designer] suitcase that I spent thousands on?" And I spoke to him calmly and instructed that they should call Whistler Limousine and that I could not accomodate him and then I drove the limousine away. When I looked in the rearview mirror, Bob, David, and Lester were running like crazy towards a bus. Haha :)

So all in all, being a driver can be such an adventure. I love it.

Ski Season

Well it's that time of year again! Snow is falling in Whistler (Finally). I have had a few job offers, and for the the past two years I have driven for Whistler Limousine and enjoyed it very much, however, drivers are big on demand! Whistler Star Express and Whistler Limousine are hiring and have called with offers. Wow its going to be a busy season! I can totally feel it. I was told that it is taking 3 hours to get to Whistler from the airport now, dammmmnnn construction. I will have to make my mind up in the next two weeks. I guess I'll give my friend, Laura Lee, a call for help.

It's raining again

Did a trip to Whistler yesterday for Whistler Limousine, still thinking I should change jobs and work for them. 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 these few days for Vancouver Limousine pricing. Boy, saw tons of skiers in Whistler now.

So I have a theory.. about the weather. It affects people's moods. When it's sunny, usually people are nice and happy. But since it's raining and snowing so much, I get some cranky customers -.- If only it were warm all the time! Oh well, who said life was fair?

Hmm lots of driving means lot of sitting around. I gotta find some time for the gym now, perhaps I'll try Georgia Athletic Club, since my beer belly's coming back, haha.

Limousine Vancouver & Whistler Limousine

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).
