OK I think I can arrive early around noon, and explore the city a bit. Is the weather ok for walking a few hours say on the street and in stanley park? Also, is it easier to just rent a car or am I better off taking the skytrain? The car is about 20-25 plus gas and hotel parking of 10, but I would have to find parking I think around places I visit.
I usually just take the Canada Line to downtown and walk around on my day excursions to Vancouver.
Weather is usually ok for a Stanley Park walk.
