On this day, I was going to fly in a helicopter piloted by my friend. I invited my friend from Redmond, but when she arrived at my apartment, the weather was not good enough to fly the helicopter. We drove around Vancouver waiting for the weather improvement, from White Cliff Park, Horseshoe Bay, North Vancouver, and Steveston. We had several meals on the way and I was almost full. In the late afternoon, we visited Helijet almost giving up the helicopter ride. Although the weather had been improving, the time was too late and my friend told me we couldn't fly on the day. We completely gave up and visited another friend in Downtown, but an hour later after we came back to Downtown, I had a phone call from the pilot who told that we could ride on the helicopter if we could reach the airport in thirty minutes. It was almost the rush hour time, we hurried to the airport and we could catch the helicopter. It was a 10-minute flight from Vancouver International to Vancouver Harbor. The flight was great, but we had to walk back to my apartment to pick up my car and drove back to Vancouver International to get back my friend's car. It's really a great deal to ride on a helicopter!
Wow! Lucky. That must have been fun.
