Joanne wanted to see Vancouver, so that's what we are going do next week.
Thanks to the internet (esp. Hotwire.com: Discount airfare, hotel reservations, car rentals, vacation packages and cruises) , we've arranged transport and accommodation downtown at all the above locations
5 nights Vancouver, 2 Nights Victoria, 3 Nights Seattle, in that order (with coach / ferry Vancouver to Victoria, Victoria clipper to Seattle)
We plan on mostly walking / using public/mass transit, but we might rent a car for one for one day to visit whistler, depending on the weather while we are there. As ever, Chowhound Boards - Chowhound, have come up with lots of recommendations for decent places to eat, without paying over the odds.
The guide books have come up with the usual suspects for playing tourist.
I wonder if the local residents, or previous visitors have any recommendations for sights/eats/drinks that we might not otherwise be aware of, or should not be missed.
Thanks,
Grahame & Joanne
