| Vancouver | YVR airport to YWCA Hotel Posted: Fri October 30, 2009 06:18 PM UTC
Hi,
We will be travelling to Vancouver in Jan and would like to find out how I can get to YWCA hotel from the airport and return as well. Last time when I was there, I took the Charter Bus Lines airport transfer but seems like this is no longer in service. I'll be 6 month pregnant at that time with my 2 years old girl, hence, I hope to find some similar airport transfer. Please kindly advise. Thanks in advance! |

Hello, I'm visiting Vancouver for the next three weeks to study urban agriculture on my own and visit the local farms and community agriculture. Any ideas for best sites to visit?
Also, any recommendations on hostels on a budget? Anyone visiting the city or a resident of the city who would like to give a day tour of the waterfront/cool places in Vancouver? Thank you so much for your help! |

| Vancouver | Canadian Crafts shops on Robson St Posted: Fri October 2, 2009 01:59 PM UTC
I recently visited Vancouver (which I fell in love with) and also came across a typical tourist shop which also happened to sell lovely jewellery. I planned to return on my last day (was only there for 3 days) but never made it due to lack of time and have tried to phone the shop up to contact them when I got back about some of their jewellery. The shop is called Canadian Crafts Willy Enterprises Ltd and it is owned by Jack Lam (I have their business card). The address is 1045 Robson St and the number is 604-684-6629 and I've tried to call from London (where I am based) using +1604-684-6629 but the call hasn't gone through. Any ideas if I'm going wrong or if I need to add any other dialling codes apart from the +1?
Many thanks! |

| Whistler | Bear watching in Whistler? Posted: Sun September 6, 2009 03:33 AM UTC
Dear all,
I just arrived in Whistler and very much enjoy the place. Where will I be able to watch bears? It seems, I will be the only person been in Canada without having seen one... I asked in the hotel and at the tourist information - their answers were not really helpful. I formerly read in this forum, to go to the dump-place in Whistler. Today I have been informed, that this one has been removed. We have got a car, so it would not be a problem to drive a little bit around. Any suggestions? Thanks for any comments, Simbi |

| Vancouver | How many days? Posted: Fri August 14, 2009 07:02 AM UTC
Hi VT Gang, I am thinking of doing 6 nights in Vancouver in September and it looks like it runs over the Canadian Labour day weekend. Will it be packed on Vancouver Island for that weekend? How many days should I split between Vancouver and V. Island? We like exploring small towns, up to 8 miles hikes, plus some culture thrown in. Thanks, Karl

| Province of British Columbia | Glacier Viewing in March/April Posted: Thu August 13, 2009 01:12 AM UTC
I'll be visiting BC in March/April 2010 from AU. Having never seen snow, this trip is going to be brilliant!
I'm dissapointed however, I would love to get a close and personal look at some glaciers but can't find any tours operating during that time. Which Glaciers are accessible during that time of year? I'll be travelling North to Terrace from Vancouver. Does anyone know of a Glacier Bay (Alaska) tour that operates during that time. All help is appreciated. |

| Nelson | Where to stay?? Posted: Mon August 10, 2009 05:03 PM UTC
Hi - I am new to the forum and have a question about where to stay in Nelson (we are travelling there in Sept). I lived in Nelson for a few months back in 1995, and have not been back since. I can't wait to go back, b/c I loved my time there, such a beautiful place. But - where should my husband and I stay? Does anyone have feedback on the Hume Hotel or the Mountain Hound Inn? Also, any good B&Bs? We are in our 30s - and B&Bs aren't really our style - but if we luck out on hotels, we may go this route. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Sarah |

| Vancouver | June 2010, 3 days in town with my male partner of 35 years, want to revisit, Skagway, Ketchikan Posted: Sat August 1, 2009 06:18 PM UTC
Hi all.
My partner and myself did the usual cruise a few years ago then spent a week in your city, we want to revisit Skagway, Ketchikan,for a few days and see them in more detail and maybe another town along the way before returning to city for a week or so. So is it possible to get a coastal ferry from Vancouver even if we need to change ships, or sea plane as we want a nice trip. Also any Gay friendly hotel, I know Canada id great for Gay people. My Partner and myself made history by being the very forst Gay male partnership to take Civil Partnership when came in 0n the 21st December, kept a secret but now getting out, only family close friends knew at the time. Thanks all. David |
