Vancouver
Had to spend the weekend at a show in Vancouver, and it required me to fly to Seattle (landing at midnight), drive to Vancouver (2 1/2 hours), then return to SEA for a 5:30a flight on a Monday morning. Why do I do this to myself?
Vancouver was very nice, as usual. Great city. However, the gray skies and rain so normal during the winter is very depressing. Too bad, since the city is really beautiful. Also, I can't handle the incredibly short days (the sun doesn't show until close to 8a, and makes an early departure just after 4p).
I do enjoy visiting the city, and the people are quite nice. The highlight for me is staying at a hotel on the water, the Westin Bayshore, and watching the activity (scullers on the water, float planes taking off for Victoria, ferries crossing, tour boats, etc). I have never visited Vancouver for anything other than business. Next time, I may take Travel Gal and Travel Boy - but will wait for the summer with its guarantee of sunny, long days.
My only disappointment: not enjoying any Nanaimo Bars. Next time for sure!
