Vancouver  

07/18/07 - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Arriving in Vancouver and an awesome Priceline hotel

(Shutterfly photo album - Vancouver & South Vancouver Island)
After a minor delay at the border due to an old driving infraction of Scott's, we arrived in the beautiful city of Vancouver on a sunny, warm evening - absolutely gorgeous!  Upon making our way thorough the city, we arrived at our hotel for the next 4 nights, the Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina.  And wow, what a hotel!!!  We had decided to use Priceline to book a hotel and were surprised when we ended up in a beautiful 7th-floor room overlooking the marina and a heavily treed section of Stanley Park beyond.  Upon entering our room, we were greeted by a huge fluffy white bed and sliding glass doors opening up to the amazing view, sunlight pouring into the room.  The room was expensive but hey, everything here is expensive and, all things considered, it seems like a great value (and our only real splurge of this trip).

The weather this morning is probably more typical: cloudy, drizzly and about 66 degrees, but we were prepared for this (in fact, it is a bit of a relief after the hot, sunny, dry days we experienced in Montana and eastern Washington) and are off to explore the city anyway!
