Thanks for your reply. I'm also in SPG but the lowest level tier so not usually much good for anything. Was hoping to stay within one of my programs but we'd consider another option rather than end up having to taxi everwhere at night for example.

I wasn't sure that the weather would hold up for getting out of downtown much so we expected to be mostly downtown. I'm looking forward to walking around some interesting areas (Yaletown and Gastown?) and having some good food. Maybe a bit of culture as well - museums or art galleries - but mainly pottering around.

As we're heading to Whistler we'll have decent clothing I think to keep warm and dry if necessary (I hope!).
