Gary and I drove more than 1,200 km to be at the event and we're not sorry we did - we had a blast. I'm grateful for any chance to see the incredible rooms of the Waldorf (and I'm glad I got to see the Menehune Room two years ago). Yes, it's too bad Heritage Vancouver cheaped out on the entertainment and catering - I would gladly have paid a higher ticket price for a Polynesian floor show and a luau-style meal.

Thanks again, Peter. I hope you forget how bitter and spent you are right now and do it again soon 'cuz I'd come back :)
