The Trip of Firsts: First-Anniversary Getaway to Canada

For our  first anniversary , David and I decided to take a trip up to Canada.  This was our  first time to Vancouver  so we weren't quite sure what to expect. We figured our trip would be pretty similar to visiting Portland for a weekend, but were surprised to find  our first time driving in Canada  was a bit more of an adventure than we anticipated. In Vancouver B.C., the closest to a freeway you'll find is a six-lane road (three lanes each direction). You would think this would be plenty of space, but what you have to remember is that the far right lane is normally used for street parking and the left lane doubles as a turn lane. When you're driving along you might be surprised to see that you're lane just got taken over by parked cars or that the guy in front of you had decided he wants to turn left. You're really only safe if you drive in the middle lane. Thankfully Canadian drivers are used to the chaos and will normally let you back...
