BEWARE- if you do change things to AMTRAK YVR-SEA there is the train (which I have yet to experience), but the three or so other trips in the daily schedule are by bus (AKA coach). My one experience with that was terrible. Air Con was not working and only hot air came out of the vents. The bus was like an over for 4 hrs - hellish. Never again. No sorry or anything. The border formalities are about 30 min with all out / all bags off for checking. The only people who got the full search treatment were those obviously from India. The customs officials showed a disgusting display of racism - welcome to the USA.
