Yeah I Am On The Flight Now And Everything Should Be good. It is another 2 is hours to get to Langley from when the plane lands so it would be almost 11 if we were delayed by 2 hours. I still probably could of checked into the airbnb, asking for a place was a backup. The person that runs the airairbnb is an older Chinese lady and I didn't know how she might react if I told her that I wouldn't be there until 11 or lator, so I was making a plan b.

Route 1 through Coquitlam via Golden Ears Bridge: https://goo.gl/maps/zR4SWYuYgxB2

Route 2 through Burnaby via Patullo Bridge: https://goo.gl/maps/Hrjha4TgAgv

Route 3 through Burnaby via Port Mann Bridge: https://goo.gl/maps/jXbJJDWKVuw

Just a heads up from a Valley native: the Patullo is your best bet if you want to avoid tolls (If you haven't registered your car it is more expensive and billing could be annoying) and it shouldn't be too bad on a Saturday.

Thanks, this may be the route we go instead of the Port Mann. I did pre-register my vehicle for the $3.75 toll that should be covered via our tax money already, but I digress...

Note this will multiply travel time by about 400% at least on a Saturday. The Fraser and/or King George is/will be crazy on Saturdays. Might be worth the toll if you're pressed for time.
If you do take Patullo, try to work your way back to the #1 HWY after the bridge.

Ah, my bad. I don't go that way often and when I have gone during weekends it wasn't too bad.

:'( So sad to hear this man! I live here in Canada, just 25 mins from the border, let's say we just sneak you over? Hahah, jk jk.

But yeah that's really sucky. I wonder if you can get a refund. Otherwise I might have brother and his GF interested in tickets.

I feel bad that everyone who's coming to LTX and Canada for the first time...your first impressions will be the Vancouver airport and Langley,

 

Spend a day over in Victoria, it's nice. If you've got some coin I recommend taking the Helijet from downtown Vancouver and back.

I came in through the Boltbus from Seattle (I flew in for a different event, LTX was just a convenient side-thing)

But I do think Vancouver is pretty nice already (Tim Horton's donuts are legit)

Hey Langley isn't so bad! Haha. But ah I see you live in Victoria, which is undeniably a great place.

you receive them via email as a pdf, and you can either print it out or you can have them scan it on your phone

Oh we should have warned you to fill up before crossing.
Ironically, we go down to Washington to save on buying gas that came out of the ground in Canada :/

Anyone else making AMD NO shirts out of electrical tape?

You would probably have to buy tickets I assume. Maybe they can work something out though?
