Discussion on Vancouver
This summer, my friend & I were planning a roadtrip or travelling outside of the province for a week or so. We had decided on Cali Or Florida at first but came to the conclusion that Vancouver would be better for now and we'd save the tropics for the upcoming winter. My question is: what places should we visit there? which is one of the nicest, but not too pricey hotels? any kind of information? also what's the legal age over there?
"Vancouver news: "
"Legal age is 19. It would be cheaper to stay out of the downtown core in Burnaby or New Westminster near a skytrain staion to that you could easily commute into the downtown core for a night out or a day excursion. Parking in the downtown core runs about $13 for a full day and night. Good tourist spots are the Aquarium in Stanley Park (but the park has recenlty been damaged by a winter storm). Grouse Mountain is awsome especially on a clear day (in the summer there are hiking trails and other activities), Capilano Suspension Bridge is cool but expensive (Lynn Canyon Suspension bridge is cool as well and free). You have to go to Whistler (I recommend taking a Morning ATV ride to the top of the peak you get to see bears and deer as well as taking a breath taking ride!!!). It you can take a trip to Vancouver Island hop on the ferry and hit up the Royal BC Museum, Minature World, the Butterfly Garens, the Craigdourough Castle, and Buchart Gardens!! Take a walk in Chinatown in the Downtown core and enjoy the sights and sounds. You should definatly walk the sea wall from Canada Place all the way around Stanley Park. Shopping is great on Robson Street and if you are into Celeberty Sightings go to the lounge in the Sutton, or just walk the streets of Vancouver and I guarente that you will see something being filmed. Gastown is also a unique place to walk and you have to have a meal at the Old Spagetti Factory as well as Steamworks (It's a Brewery try the sampler platter to try the different beers that they have on tap), both in Gastown. There is so much to do just depends what you are into. Hope that helps!!!"
I am doing a series of post cards, that will have quotes from people about where and what they love about Vancouver B.C. The image on the postcard will be really different and graphically interesting. This is my senior project and i want something cool to put in my portfolio.

How early should I arrive at the Vancouver International Airport before departure time? I'm just asking cause I'm flying from a small town in Washington state to Vancouver BC sometime next year and I'm really excited about going there, also how friendly are the airport security employees?
"I would say possibly 2-2 and a half hours before the departure time."
