Ok I am finally getting around to write about our wonderful trip to Whistler or as I like to call it our mini moon. 3 Great days and 2 wonderful nites in the mountain resort. HB had found this to die for hotel online and booked the room as a wedding surprise for me. Which I got told about on our wedding day. I was in complete shock. As our plans were to tour around the south island. Well change of plans. The day before we left he was like do you want to see where we are going. NOPE! I want it to be a complete surprise as I had never even step foot in Whistler before. The farthest I had gone was Squamish for a whooping 10 mins which was to use the bathroom at McD’s.

Ok we have to start at the ferry. We took our time driving down on the 9th and we got to the HorseShoe Bay ferry around 12.10 ish and the next sailing was 12.30, which was full full FULL. My charming husband pulls up the window in our decorated car (which had just married peel and sticks all over the windows) and goes “Is there a newly wed rate?” Only him would be so bold and so imaginative. Thats my baby! The woman looks at him and the car with a laugh. Goes congratulations she had been married for 20 some odd years had 3 some what good boy. She goes do you have reservations. HB of course not! Her well you do now please pull in to the reservation line. Say good bye to a sailing wait. And of course my book keeper mind goes hunny thats awesome you know a reservation is $25? As he just laughs and goes only you.
