Any tips? I've been a bunch of times, but its been a few years. Wife's never been. Staying downtown at the FORMER Trump hotel lol. Paradox Hotel or some shit. Rough Plans: Get in late Thursday night. Friday: Maybe take some E-Bikes to Stanley Park. Hit up Richmond Night market in the evening (maybe) Saturday: Capilano Suspension Bridge + Grouse Mountain Sunday: May take a boat ride. Flight doesn't leave until 8pm so need to fill the day up. Gonna check out different areas of downtown, Granville Island etc to fill in the gaps too.
The Shark Club is a good sports bar in downtown Vancouver. It's been over 20 years since I've been there though lol. I checked and it's still there though.
Anyone ever been to the Mammoth dig site in Hot Springs SD? Was really cool. They are slowly uncovering many different mammoths. I would post pictures, but they always end up sideways for some reason.
Hanging out on the Kona side with BG and my two oldest granddaughters. Not the best picture but I guess you’d have to be here……
I guess this is happening in Vancouver, BC when I'm there, hence the high prices for everything. https://hondacelebrationoflight.com/
Looks like I'll be going to Phillippines in October 2023. Cousin getting married in Boracay. Not sure if we will add another side trip to it to HK or Singapore, we will see. Depends on how long we are needing to stay in Phillippines. Going to attempt to do a Paris trip next spring.
The drive from Vancouver to Whistler on a clear day is amazing. There is a gondola on the way you can ride
Probably not gonna have a car. My parents and my brother and his fam may drive up from Seattle. But probably end up going to Grouse Mountain.
I'm looking at a 5 day weekend in early October. Thinking Hawaii or Miami/Florida Keys. Both are reasonably priced right now, but its still techincally Hurricane season in S Florida. Small chance I may try to squeeze a trip to Paris if the rates are good.
Just got back from Solana Beach and Del Mar area. We had a great spot on Solana bluff. It's a little spendy but otherwise a perfect location. The beach and stairs are kind of hidden so you have to know they are there and it's a lot of stairs so they beach was not crowded. All in all it was a perfect little get away and visit with family. No more trips planned for now. Good chance I get back to Germany in the fall and maybe Mexico again in the winter.
My friend is posting pics of his trip with his fam through Germany. They rented a car, looks awesome. one of my friends told me to try to come out to Oktoberfest, but now that I'm whipped, I doubt my wife will let me roll without her lol. Hmm...it ends October 3rd, thats my intended travel weekend, maybe we can catch the last day lol.
If you come to FL, you could always rent our little place for a few days. https://www.vrbo.com/1651049?noDates=true
There are so many beach towns in Florida that look interesting. That's pretty far from south florida though. Maybe one day!
