Five-and-a-half hours later, I arrived in Vancouver to find Grant awaiting me with an unfurled Canadian flag and a box of TimBits, Tim Horton's answer to the Munchkin.
I always fly to countries with zero pre-arranged plans. It's hard enough for me to figure out what country I want to go ahead of time, never mind trying to decide on a city or hotel!
As soon as I made it through immigration, I bought another ticket to take a regional flight down to Placenia, a sleepy beach town about 90 air-miles south of Belize City.
