I miss you Vancouver!
The week spent in Vancouver, Canada was one of the best of my entire travel history. Vancouver has it all, ocean, mountains, rain forest, great restaurants, relaxed city life. I fell in love at first sight. I miss and hope to go back.
45 Blood Alley Square, Vancouver, BC V6B 1C7, Canada
This little hideaway in a back alley, with its communal tables and chalkboard menus, is where I go with friends when we want to share snacks. They match wines to "tasting trios" selected from their cheese and charcuterie cellar. It’s best to let...
315 Carrall St, Vancouver, BC V6A 0A7, Canada
The owners at this breakfast and lunch spot make almost everything from scratch and by hand, from grinding chickpeas for their hummus to making almond milk for the granola. They even offer vegan butter. (604) 681-5776. As told to Rhonda May. This...
370 Cambie St, Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7, Canada
Like the name says: just braised or slow-roasted meats, served on ciabatta buns. They are known for their hand-carved porchetta, but I order the daily special—that is, if I can get there before 2 p.m. The restaurant is first come, first served, so...
7501 Stanley Park Dr, Vancouver, BC V6G 1Z4, Canada
A true highlight of a visit to Vancouver is, of course, Stanley Park. A bonus is the Teahouse Restaurant at Ferguson Point. The view from the outdoor patio is stunning and the food is wonderful. I had this delicious seafood chowder that was made...
3663 Park Rd, North Vancouver, BC V7J 3G3, Canada
In the canyon below the bridge there is small pool that waterfalls into the river below. There's plenty of picture spots if your patient enough to wait for people to pass let the bridge stop shaking.
3735 Capilano Rd, North Vancouver, BC V7R 4J1, Canada
A quick side trip from Vancouver is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It's high, it's surrounded by delicate and gorgeous scenery and is something that you can't do everywhere. High above the ground, you are transported to a wonderland in the forest...
Vancouver, BC V6G 1Z4, Canada
In Vancouver, B.C., on business this fall, I spent one morning zipping around Stanley Park on a bike I borrowed from my hotel. These totems, which were carved and painted by people from the Squamish Nation, stand to honor the original residents of...
Coal Harbour, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Coal Harbour is bordered by Burrard Street, West Georgia, and Pender (where Pender and Georgia pinch together toward Stanley Park). Much of Coal Harbour consists of seawall pathways and the only hustle and bustle you’ll find here is from cyclists,...
Went out one day with my cousin in the middle of the week with a couple of his friends. We grabbed some sushi and drinks and made our way to the lake with the dog riding in the back. Surrounded by a plethora of pine trees, we just relaxed and...
630 Hamilton St, Vancouver, BC V6B 5N6, Canada
I love the lights, the carols, the colors, and the food of Christmas. I have always wanted to take in the famed German and Austrian markets, but I have yet to make the trip. If you are on the West Coast of North America, the Vancouver German...
6400 Nancy Greene Way, North Vancouver, BC V7R 4K9, Canada
At the top of Grouse Mountain I came across the bear enclosure and managed to see this beautiful baby Grizzly Bear. Whilst being Summer time, there was still snow prevalent on the top of the mountain, which is also called the Peak of Vancouver.
12240 Second Ave #210, Richmond, BC V7E 3L8, Canada
While in Vancouver we went whale-watching. We saw a group of killer whales. Pretty cool to see them in the wild and not in some Seaworld doing tricks.
One of the reasons I love traveling to Vancouver is the city's creative use of green space; no matter how big or small, I'm always stumbling upon something interesting. Here, at the corner of Burrard and Davie streets, in the heart of downtown...
Gastown, Vancouver, BC, Canada
333 Menchion Mews, Vancouver, BC V6G 3H2, Canada
Situated on the water near Marina Square in Vancouver with views of Stanley Park and the beautiful mountains is a great spot for seafood in all styles. You'll be entertained by the seaplanes taking off as well as the wonderful dishes passing...

Raining? Vancouver Aquarium hosts many events through the days and evenings that highlight top seafood chefs in the City. See Oceanwise.com for more info.
1669 Johnston St, Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9, Canada
Granville Island Market was pulsing with energy from musicians, tourists, and a frenzy of food markets. After living in a desert region for so long, it was awesome to get a hold of fresh fish, fresh fruit, and the German sausage was pretty amazing...
900 W Georgia St, Vancouver, BC V6C 2W6, Canada
In Vancouver and Vancouver Island, British traditions are still going strong. High Tea at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is a treat while visiting the west coast city. Built in 1937, and not to be confused with its old rival the Second Hotel...

Highway 99, also known as the Sea to Sky Highway, is the major north-south artery running through the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia from the U.S. border, up Howe Sound through the Sea to Sky Country to Lillooet, and connecting to...
From the bi-level dome car, Gold-Leaf Service passengers take in panoramic views of snowcapped mountains, Fraser Canyon, and the Thompson River as they make their way from Vancouver, B.C., to Banff, Alberta. The three-night excursion includes...
1059 Alberni St, Vancouver, BC V6E 1A3, Canada
I went to Thierry for my birthday and fell in love with it. First of all, it has the best location, right in the heart of the downtown shopping area. The café is small and buzzing with life. We order desserts and tea and quickly grab a table in...
