Whistler is sick, meet up with Finney, Nick Aaron and Sarah and their friends last night for drinks and had the best sleep in a non hostel bed. Back to Vancouver tonight then off to Seattle on Monday smile

Looking forward to moving into my own room already in sun peaks but single rooms in Seattle will be good too!

I will definitely be heading to Banff… Might spend a few days in Vancouver but I’m undecided atm.

Do I need a VISA if I plan to go to Whistler for all of Feb and March without working?

After being in Vancouver for 10 days, I can safely say keep it to 4 Max. 1 for Stanley park, 1 for grouse mountain if you want to hike it, 1 for a hockey match and 1 for Granville island. And even then, most of these are half day events…

how far is it from Vancouver to Vancouver Island?

Everything I’ve seen is that it is definitely worth checking out.

Freddy and I were spewing we didn’t have time to go there on our USA trip we just finished.

Think its about 2 hours on the ferry each way. I was talking to a guy that raved about it but I didn’t go across myself.

How are you going about getting from Van to Seattle man? So far all I’ve found (apart from flying) is the Amrak train but the website doesn’t say how much fares are

Ozgirl told me of one which was cheap and had WiFi on a shuttle bus. I thought it was Blitz Bus but I can’t find it. Might have been http://www.quickcoach.com but it’s not ringing any bells for me.

I drove, but don’t do that… Parking sucks and it’s so expensive. And all the Seattle deals everyone raves about really aren’t that special… Touluia is where the premium outlets are, just make sure you tell your bank you are going or they’ll put a hold on your account… That was a pain but did save me like 80 bucks on my board Haha
