It’s Friday and I am still having a hard time digesting the Vancouver Whitecaps FC game against Dallas on Wednesday evening.  I left BC Place really annoyed, irritated and thinking that the “Supporters Section 202″, was probably the most ignorant and depressing place in the whole stadium. (I haven’t been in SouthSiders section, but I am sure it is not nearly as bad as 202) It wasn’t the game itself, although the play was horrendous. What pissed me off the most was that I was sitting in section 202 (Row A) -I am a season ticket holder in section 211 but had family in town so gave them my seats and took the cheap seats.  I have really come to a conclusion that there are many people who sit in the end-zones are probably the poorest supporters of WhitecapsFC (Not All, only some).  I heard so many things that were ignorant and extremely rude that was just shooting down the team that we are supposed to be cheering for.  Things like Camilo you are $hit, just like the color of the jersey you are wearing, and then the unclassy “*uck you Dallas” chant, really classy guys, I think we can do better!   I have been to many Premier league games and yes its fun when they are a little rowdy, but atleast they are not as trashy as 202 was on Wednesday… in any case. I’m all in for having fun and being rowdy, but  lets have a little class and be true fans!  Keep pushing for our team, rather than tearing them down.  WhitecapsFC have had a great run so far this season and sure we will end it on a high note!

Go Caps Go!

Hey friends, here is my article and review about going on a travel tour.  My last adventure was a tour through Vietnam on Geckos adventures.

In my last article I wrote about travel styles and mentioned that I was going on an organized tour to Vietnam facilitated by Gecko’s Adventures. The tour itself took us from the North of Vietnam to the South with stops in five distinct cities. Out of…read more…

Holidays begin! There is nothing better than free holidays, well almost free! Last September my wife had won a free trip on the Reunification Express from Vamcouverisawesome.com. The prize pack came complete with an 11 day tour from Geckos, flights from the Adventure Centre and a prize pack from Arcteryx! I have to say I personally think the Arcteryx pack is probably the coolest! My wife is now sporting an awesome purple light weight rain shell and also a super cool travel pack! I will post pictures later for you!!! (note: prize was for her, I paid so I could tag along!)

We are really excited about this trip as we have been to Vietnam once before together about 7 years ago where we spent most of our time in the North. The reunification express will take us by train from Hanoi to Hue, Hoi Anh, Nha Trang and ten finally Ho Chi Minh City. At the end of the tour we will spend a few days back in Nha Trang enjoying some beach time!

I am happy we will also have some companions on this trip! My parents from Saskatchewan will be joing us on this adventure! None of us have ever done a planned tour so this will be a first! We are very keen to try this type of travel and to see if it fits our “travel style”.

Here’s to having a great well deserved holiday!

I’m feeling really happy today! Mom and dad had spent last night at Calgary Airport due to their flight being cancelled from Calgary to Tokyo because of bad weather (Lightning, Thunder, etc.). – They got rebooked and luckily enough got moved from a Tango Fare to a Latitude Fare. I was able to use my Air Canada e-Upgrade credits to get them an upgrade from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR) to Hong Kong (HKG). This is pretty much their first time flying business class, so I am extremely excited and happy that they get to be blessed and have an incredible journey to Asia this afternoon. – Thank you Air Canada for treating me and my family so amazing. Your rewards program is brilliant and you have allowed us to Experience great things!

The real funny thing is that both Dad and I have known all day that they got bumped and we have been telling her she will have an emergency exit so she can enjoy a little extra leg room!  We have also been teasing her about sleeping on the plane and having mimosas and enjoying some port and cheese!

Also, a special thank you to Gayle from AC Concierge in Calgary for taking great care of my parents yesterday in Calgary as well as Gina from ACSE Desk for ensuring my parents got rebooked ASAP. I am looking forward to family vacation this upcoming weekend. I will see you on the party bus AC63 on Saturday!

Have you ever wondered, when traveling, how people get free upgrades to business class? Why does that person get to sit in the emergency exit row or why do those people get to sit in the bulkhead? Well, your first guess is probably that they paid for…read more…
