Not much to report today. Pretty much got up early and drove to Kelowna. Caught our flight to Van and am now sitting in the hostel about to go get some sleep ahead of what will be the longest travel day yet.
But I need to give a little mention about the great vehicles we've had. I've had three cars this trip and they have all been pretty cool in different ways.
The first was a standard Toyota Corolla, but it was my first experience of Sat Nav and it was very positive.
Then we got the Sat Nav-less GMC Envoy. It was brand new of course and in the end sort of grew on me. A bit of a wallowy thing to drive but it is an SUV after all. It did get us everywhere we needed to go though, over some pretty snowy passes too.
Our last car was the Ford Fusion. This one had all the bells and whistles and best of all we got those bells for zero down and zero every month! The Sat Nav wasn't really needed on this part of the journey but we used it anyway. The satellite radio worked much better than in the GMC and we grew to appreciate having one channel whereever you went. It also had Sync (powered by Microsoft). I played around with this on the last day and managed to hook my phone up to it via bluetooth and got it to read text messages out to me. It could also stream music from my phone via bluetooth too but that didn't actually work that well.
That will be it for cars on this trip. Next car I'll be driving will have the steering wheel on a different side. Hope I can remember to keep left....
