Vancouver Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

We had a big day planned, as Chris could take the day off. We walked over to Caffe Artigiano for cafe americanos while reading papers and just talking about the week. It had such a "date feel" to it--very intimate. We went by the cruise ship terminal to see the ships that were in port. We had seen them entering the Burrard Inlet early in the a.m...

After the long, grueling drive to the West Coast, we decided to stay with my grandpa's friend Patricia's house. It was pretty small, but very nice. It overlooked Stanley Park. She still lives there now, same building, just twelve years later. This was my first experience of Vancouver. I was way too young to understand anything. We got into town ...

Hello once again my devoted blogees! I'm sorry to say that Vancouver part 1 (part 1 cause I'm here for another week and I don't know what else is going to happen yet!) has found your heroic writer struck down with an assortment of maladies. Perhaps it's the climate, perhaps it's the water...or perhaps it's the fact that for the last fortnight I'...

NOTE: Right now I am staying at a hostel at Lake Louise in the Rocky Mountains. It is late at night, I am alone in the kitchen and its very quiet - not spooky at all. My friend and I have just arrived today. She is fast asleep and I get some time to catch up on my blogging. I will post a blog on the Rockies after this trip which is 3 days. http:...

I am a little frustrated because I just spent a half hour doing the blog, and lost it, so I am starting all over again!!!! First, to correct yesterday's blog, the huge trees in Stanley park are not redwoods, they are red cedars, and they are Huge! Speaking of trees, there are palm trees outside our hotel. Palm trees! And at lunch, there were pal...

Welcome to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the nicer 'America.' My first sign that the people are nicer was when i was walking towards my hostel and out of no where a random women looks at me and says 'you are a backpacker,' in an accent tinted with french. Well i was going to give her a sarcastic look seen as i was carrying a huge rucksack...

On Saturday 1st December we woke up to snow, which continued most of the day and night. By Sunday afternoon there was a big build up of snow (for Vancouver) until heavy rain came and washed it away. It was fun while it lasted! At the end of January it snowed heavily again and lots of people had transport hassles getting to work. It's a bit like ...

We have acquired a taste for the BBC. It is a refreshing change from CNN. British propaganda is more subtle and measured than its brash and sensational American counterpart. One night we were watching a fascinating BBC documentary on North Korea. The program showed how bizarre and surreal life is like inside the Hermit Kingdom. One segment showe...

Kevin and I slept absolutely zero hours yesterday. It was partly because we were getting last minute things packed/I was finishing up my law review article, etc. Partly because we really wanted to sleep on the flight to London. I usually can never get to sleep in a moving vehicle, especially when sitting upright, but I swear I almost fell asleep...

*phew* Up since 4am and didn't really sleep much. Spent most of the morning travelling - including a prop plane trip *eek* Hotel is pretty nice - Le Soleil Hotel - a little boutique style 'homey' adobe. Went for a swim before lunch and then worked for a couple hours, but got to go checkout a unique little neighborhood called Kitsilano . It was o...
