We stayed with friends in New Westminster and the party was in East Vancouver near the PNE grounds. We drove there in one car and when we were ready to leave we phoned up a new service in Vancouver. They drive to your location and one of their people drives your car home with you in it, followed by their vehicle. If there are too many for your car, you can overflow into their vehicle. You are driven safely home without having to go through the process of taking a cab and then returning for your car the next day. The cost was $54, split between us. It was no more than a one way taxi ride would have cost.
It was a great party. Not too many people so you could talk to everyone. Politicians, union organizers and back room boys (and girls) from our more active political days. It was a blast and my left wing roots are renewed!
We are on the ferry back to Vancouver Island using their free WIFI. Now it is home to rest up for November when we leave for Mexico. It has been an expensive couple of months so we will be on an austerity program till then. I just told Norma this news but she refuses to respond to me. It will be a quiet sailing.
Well, half way across we lost the WIFI. I will have to send this from home.
Cool idea, we have free taxis here in Monterrey for Christmas and New Year's partiers. A good idea!
ReplyDeleteThere is a volunteer program here in Kelowna that does it on weekends for a donation.
