LOL -- not laughing at your misfortune but it's good to know that I am not the only person who has done this! Fortunately, I was an SE at the time, so they were pretty good at fixing it for me without a penalty! -- catgirl

Damn! And I thought I had someone to commiserate with. I typed in YYZ instead of YYC and didn't notice till a couple of days before the flight ... it ended well -- catgirl

Saturday morning hiking
I am planning to lead a hike before the 'official' 'do'. So far 3 of us are going, but I'm happy to show off our beautiful trails to as many as possible! We will go at the pace of the slowest person (possibly me!).
We will be hiking from Alyard farm, meeting there at 11am. If you need a ride, PM painintheuk. It will be a slow, relaxed pace, with snacks along the way!
We'll be done and back in plenty of time to check in and relax before the Do.

Do treats include YCD bars? Cider?
This will be my first 'do', and I'm excited, even as my 'frequent' traveling is likely done ()
If I'm around, I'm happy to host a morning trail run!

I am in town on May 06 and have added my name to the wiki. If anybody is into some golf let me know. It looks like SE4_life might be playing at Bear mountain, I can probably find a course a little closer.

Date confirmed for May 6. It will be held in the Sam McGee room at the Bard and Banker. Upon entering go upstairs and to the corner furthest from the main entrance.
I will bump and post more details as the date encroaches. I'm very excited to welcome everyone to Victoria!

I'm in for May 6th. All weekends in April wouldn't have worked so glad this date got chosen. Lived in YVR for 12 years and never really appreciated YYJ as a child/preteen(another destination my parents "dragged" me to all the time). Excited to explore as much as I can over the weekend! Would love to start by taking a seaplane in
