New Victoria for New Media
It’s been an incredibly fun day! This is the first time I’ve ever met our Vancouverite bloggers in real life and I gotta say, I wasn’t quite ready for the onslaught of picture taking and video filming that was to take place today. LOL
We met up at Coast Hotels & Resorts at 8:30am where introductions began. I got to meet all the bloggers on the guestlist and their guests as well, in addition to the fab Coast clan (Sherry, Danny & Elisa). Everything was just like a normal pre-tour meet-and-greet until Lorraine and April arrived with about three cameras all going at the same time (video, picture, and picture for live updates). I felt a little self-conscious and wondered if I should’ve dressed up a bit. 
Once we started boarding the bus, cameras were going off left, right, center, and every place inbetween! When April saw a squirrel on the sidewalk I heard “Oh SQUIRREL!” followed by several clicks of the camera. I’m not joking!! Bloggers it seems are crazy serious about getting footage of EVERYTHING — which is why I was too afraid to doze off on the bus. I kept nodding off and waking up suddenly with the fear of being caught on tape or in a picture with my mouth wide open. Hahahaha
They’re a great bunch! Trigger-happy like I’ve never seen, but a great bunch! I’m looking forward to what tomorrow brings:
