Cathy, Whistler is an hour or so north of Vancouver Canada. It is a ski resort that has grown and is now SO EXPENSIVE!! It is THE IN PLACE to ski, but we are not skiing, I just had a week of my time share to use up and that was available! We are bringing our own food, and are bringing books, movies, puzzles, etc and my family lives on Van. Island which is close by, so are going to visit them first! Tomorrow we have a 12 hr. car ride after Dave's grad (dd's dh).
Whistler is also where the 2010 winter olympics are going to be.
I hope you ARE as close to your daughter someday, it is the best! We talk almost every day on the phone, and wish we lived in the same town, but thank goodness for telephones and email!
We are getting excited now for our trip, can't wait!
Have a good week, everyone!
