Many thanks for all the info. I am very grateful for the specific recommendations on areas and hotels. :-:

Just pass it up unless u have a VIP pass to cut queue.
Sadly, I am no VIP. And I would happily give Expo a miss after everything I have read about it. But my partner is dead set on it (because of our very enjoyable visit to the Vancouver Expo in the '80s!). Maybe once he has read all the reports he'll change his mind.

I may well follow your example and shave it down.

Nice to know: if we do hotel hop we might include it for a day or two.
