Kate was incredible. We ended up leaving a little later than expected (from Seattle), and the border took a bit more time than we'd hoped. Kate had to run to a meeting, but her daughter was there to greet us. While I didn't get a chance to meet Kate, her daughter was every bit as kind and welcoming as Kate seemed in her correspondence. Our time in Vancouver was spectacular, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or a more sunny, pleasant host.
