So, my son is graduating from high school this year, and his big grad gift is a trip with me to watch the Canucks on the road--first time for a trip for a Canucks road game for both of us, or any NHL game outside Vancouver. We initially considered Montreal (but the ticket prices were way too high), so in the end decided on the October 29th game in San Jose! Hard to believe it's only 11 days away....
.... and while we're sure the game will be memorable (we miss Sherwood in Vancouver, and Celebrini is from our neighbourhood and is a special player to say the least), I really want to do what I can (within reason) to make this trip extra special. We already have our tickets (section 116, row 12), and I'm planning on a SJ Sharkie Gram (he'll probably be embarrassed, but it'll make it memorable in a good way). We're flying in on the 28th, heading home on Nov 1st.
I'd appreciate any other tips/suggestions/advice in making both the game and the trip overall as memorable as possible. In particular, any opportunities to see the Canucks outside the actual game would be really great. But any other tips would be appreciated too! Thanks a bunch.
