There looks to be food at all three areas (Intl - Can - US) past security.

post pandemic some of the food places can close very early due to staffing
i'd have a backup plan depending on time of flight

not specifically at yvr but i often walk across a terminal for a restaurant i want only to find they're not even open late afternoon

Nothing great, just your typical. Subway, A&W, Starbucks, a cafe, and a sports bar.

heading down to 24/7 tonight.

worth getting gas in blaine?

Do they still have the Churches chicken? :drool

the lounge isnt too bad, maple leaf lounge/plaza lounge. if you have the respective credit card/points its a great alternative to eating the over priced airport food.

I mean, you're down there, why not.

It's 3.72 USD/Gal right now, which works out to 1.32 CAD/L. So still about 25 cents cheaper than up here.

Yes, and I believe it recently just opened back up after being closed for the longest time.

Would have been cool to have it named Texas Chicken ( It's original branding down in the states ) since its technically past security and in "USA":lol

All the churches chickens changes to Texas chicken anyway didn’t they?

$3.75 for Premium at Costco this morning.

Went to 24/7, as well. Trader Joe's to get some goodies. Costco for munchies. Chex Mix on sale, ftmfw!, lol.

went down and got my packages last night

coming back up through the nexus the guy asked how much the packages were worth, told him $600, he lowered his head and had a real think for a second and let us go. nice guy lol

finally got nexus approved for an interview. just waiting on the wife to get her approval before we book an appointment for an interview

Took me 2 years of randomly logging in and finally got an interview last week by following the tip to log on early in the month. Logged on like maybe 5 days or so ago and bam there were like hundreds of appoints available from Jan through to end of May. Booked the whole family in let's get this shit done god damn it.

I was in Bellingham today. Seniors Day at the casino is now on Tuesdays, not Mondays. Anyhow, went to gas up at Costco. Their car wash is now open.

It's not touchless. For a grand total of $7.99 USD, you get exterior wash and wax, tire shine and wheel cleaning, undercarriage wash with rust inhibitor, spot free rinse, enviro soft foam brushes. It also says, "Now includes Ceramic Protective Coating. Probably a lot of fullshit, but hey, it's there.

I did not go, because the freeway was a freaking wet mess.......... sure enough, after I decide not to get the wash, a few miles down the road, the sun comes out, gulolol.

All that for 8USD?!

That kind of wash would cost you $20+ here in Vancouver..

but, but............ no fancy neon lights.

Not bad. I’ll try it out next time I’m down there shopping at bellis fair.

doesnt matter how soft the brush is...the 6 trillion other cars' debris will just be pummeled into your clear coat

My Zaino will protect................

I don't really care. Looks better than shit loads of salt and who knows whatever cum or toxic rail dust finds its way on the paint.

Did I see you posting on Vancouver reddit advocating gas stations that charge people for air? :lol

This is probably a well known but I always find a car wash necer keeps your car that clean anyways compared to a good hand wash

Hand wash with good soap feels like 10 days to 2 weeks of looking pretty clean. even the best $25 machine wash looks like shit a week later

I use touchless washes on my truck throughout the year but I'll hand wash and then throw on a sealant a couple times a year. The touchless washes are good enough to get the bulk of the crap off but it doesn't come close to how much better it looks when I wash it by hand. It's 8 years old and the paint still looks great.

I used to like washing my car but with a truck it's like a 3 hour chore washing and waxing it properly.

talking of car washes, just tried the car wash at the new storage place by boundary and lougheed

its pretty damm good for almost the same price as shine but turning into the wash tunnel is like driving into crystal mall

How much is it? I saw it being built or recently opened when I was in Vancouver back in September.

think it was 10.99 for simple wash to 18.99 for everything
