Vancouver Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Our topic for the first official week of DTS was Listening to God. Quite an interesting one as while I'm good at praying and asking for stuff, I rarely think to actually sit and wait for a reply. But imagine sitting in a coffee shop with a friend: you talk non-stop, asking questions but then running onto the next question before they can get a w...

Bon matin,

Voici deja le temps pour moi de revenir a la maison. Un peu cliche mais je n'ai vraiment pas vu passer mes vacances.

Donc, 2 mots pour vous dire que c'est confirme pour mardi 18h a la Buvette a Simone sur Parc.

Marjolaine, j'ai vu ton courriel. J'ai deja essaye et ils ne prennent pas de reservation a la Buvette....

What a whirlwind day of sightseeing! First stop was the hotel shuttle drop-off at the English Bay beach for Inukshuk photos. Then a quick walk through West End to Stanley and the seawall. From there we tromped over the new "green" convention center and to the Cruise Ship Terminal. Along our walk there we parsed hundreds of people lined up along ...

Well, well, well, it's all coming together!! So, I am working at Flight Centre as the Assistant Manager of a little store in West End, a funky suburb of Vancouver city. I only started last week and will be in training this week, but I'm keen to get in and see what happens!! It's a bit of a shock to be back, to be honest, and especially in retail...

OH MY GOSH! ... THE PAIN ... THE PAIN. That was about 4am this morning. Forearms are spasming, shoulder blades are throbbing, coughing hurts my abs ... ow ow ow ...

Saturday 19th April 2008 Today we woke up to blue sky and beautiful white snow! There had been a heavy fall of snow over night and it had become increasingly colder as the day went on so we were not really surprised. We seemed to have survived our first night in our new home without any problems and we were quite cosy inside. Everyone has told u...

Despite the snow we were lucky to make great time to the airport (thanks Dianne) and they put us on an earlier flight to Vancouver. We were now scheduled to leave at 3:00 instead of 5:00. 3:00 ended up being 4:00 as they combined three flights onto one. Then another delay to plow the runway and de-ice the plane. Finally we get to leave the snow ...

What a way to begin a vacation! Mike surprised me with a flight over the Southern Gulf Islands- a brief overview of the islands we might visit during our vacation on Tiara's Dream. Amazing! In one hour we flew from Saturna, the southern most island, to Gabriola, the most northern in the southern Gulf archepelago, and back again to the Pacific Fl...

After we left Seattle we drove up to Vancouver, but not before we hit a ton of bad traffic. The first bad patch was at the Canadian border, where apparently time goes slower. It really only took us a minute to get across, but a couple hours waiting beforehand. Then once across and in Vancouver the traffic was just as bad, especially going over b...
