My list of dream trips is long, long, long, but this is one city I would revisit in a heartbeat. db and I had a wonderful vacation there in 2004.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, is two cities rolled into one. For outdoorsy types, this western Canadian city is a nature paradise, with miles of scenic hiking trails and bike paths that sweep along the Strait of Georgia, the pine tree-lined waterway that connects Vancouver with the Pacific Ocean. For urbanites, Vancouver is a sophisticated destination, with thriving immigrant enclaves, an ever-expanding restaurant scene, quirky neighborhoods, distinctive shops and lively bars that party all night. Part of the fun is weaving your way through Vancouver's two sides, and realizing that's why the city ranks as one of the world's most livable places.
All true. Maybe I should forget visiting and just move there. What say, db! I should keep this option open in case the news in Nov. 2008 ain't good.
I enjoyed Vancouver, and it is an attractive city, but I would probably not go there again. Fantastic climate. But nothing in particular stood out about it for me except for the wonderful University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology.
