'Seaplanes, Helicopters & Automobiles'

A Canadian version of the popular 80's movie 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' starring Steve Martin and John Candy is about to be released.

It is set in Vancouver, and follows a day in the life of an upcoming young Vancouver Executive, named Simon Thomas. Simon needs to visit clients in Victoria on Vancouver Island in the morning and then make it back to Vancouver later that afternoon for an important meeting!! As in the original movie, the star elicits the help of many different modes of transport in order to get him where he needs to go. Also like the original, there are also plenty of laughs to be had along the way!! Unlike the original there is on show some stunning scenery of Vancouver (the world's 2nd Most Livable City behind Melbourne, Australia).



It was actually a pretty exciting day for me as I had never been on either a Seaplane or a helicopter before. I have been dying to go on a Seaplane ever since I first visited Vancouver back in 2004 and I've been wanting to go in helicopter since.....well, as long as I can remember. Both were very cool!!!
