I'll plan to do more of these in the future! :)
Vancouver is a nice city, as far as cities go! I spent about the same amount of time there at the end of October (went to a Canucks game!). If you want, there's a great view of the city on the drive up to Cypress Mountain. If you're lucky there will be fog!
Ooh. That would be awesome! I would love to go back soon.
