My day job is as a software sales rep for a technology company in Silicon Valley. This year, I made President’s Club which means an all-expense-paid trip to Canada. The perfect excuse to experience vacationing in Whistler B.C. (Canada). The trip is four days so I’ll share my Vacation Review of Whistler Canada and overall take.
Air Canada (Express)
The Travel Buddy and I decided to catch the non-stop flight to Whistler via Air Canada. It was an easy 2-hour flight however, Air Canada’s express jet is a small plane. The plane is essentially 4 seats in a row; the window seat, the aisle seat, the aisle, the aisle seat, and the window seat. That’s right seats ABCD and 27 rows. I’m familiar with the number of rows because we were seated in the last row without a window next to the bathroom. The airplane stewardess in the back was nice enough to let us sit on the opposite side which had a window, putting the bathroom across the row and behind us, which was nice of her. The plane had entertainment services in the headrest. I chose to watch streaming on Netflix on my phone which made the flight feel brief.
Vancouver Airport
The Vancouver airport is nice, quaint and simple. The best way to describe it is minimalist with a nice artsy modern look.
Drive from Vancouver to Whistler
The drive from the airport to Whistler is a two-hour nice scenic drive. We rode in a Sprinter Limo with WiFi. The drive through Vancouver was not but when you make it out to the BC 99-North highway it is a smooth drive up. Be sure to follow the speed limit as we saw no less than 5-6 highway patrol that had pulled over motorist over on the way up to the Fairmont Chateau Whistler.
