Canada, here we come!!

A few days ago my dear husband and I were chatting about one of our favorite bands, Blue Rodeo. If you've never heard of them, go check them out now. They're huge in Canada and have been making amazing albums for almost 25 years now. Seriously. Go.

So we're talking about how we'd love to see them live, but they rarely tour the U.S. However, it turns out that they're touring Canada right now and will be playing two nights in Vancouver this weekend. The conversation goes like this:

Him: Vancouver's not that far, right? (Mind you, we live in Southern California.)
Me: Well, it's too far to drive there and back in two days, but it's not far to fly. I think we need passports to fly to Canada though.
Him: Hmmm. (Looks at map) Seattle's kind of close to Vancouver. Could we fly there, then drive to Vancouver?
Me: I suppose, as long as I'm back for work the next day.

After some intense online shopping for flights and car rentals, suddenly we have a three day trip to Seattle and Vancouver, leaving tomorrow! The only thing we don't have booked yet is a hotel, but if any of you know anyone in Seattle or Vancouver that might be willing to put us up for a night, we'd be eternally grateful. Floors, couches, barcaloungers, we're not picky!
