Vancouver Get Together
 

I was having a hard time finding the weekend info so I thought I would start a new site that says:

WEBSITE:
http://www.lava.net/~susanj/vancouver.html

just so I could find it. Hope to see a bunch of you this weekend. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

What type of "shopping and sightseeing" tours have been organized for Saturday? Are we to report to a hotel lobby at a certain time on Saturday to be part of a "shopping and sightseeing" group? Not knowing anything about Vancouver, I would really appreciate this!

I'm gonna sleep-in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Not that I don't want to enjoy Vancouver, but I think I may need to recover from Village Idiot's "Pub Crawl" from Friday night!

Meeting times again:

Dinner at Aquariva 7:00 pm (of course, you can show up earlier to start on the cocktails)

Brunch at Victoria Chinese Restaurant: Start at 10:30 (so people can catch flights) and people can keep trickling in after that.

A Dr friend of mine highly recommended the Cafe Medici. The website menus were very interesting. Perhaps I might try Lunch.

They also have several set menus for parties and a room for up to 35 people.
Maybe a local can critic it?
Compared to Dorian favorite the Allegro?

We'll definitely be hitting the IMAX Saturday or Sunday to see "Everest."

We'll also be at Aqua Riva early enjoying cocktails before dinner. I'll wear my FlyerTalk pin for identification purposes. We'd love to meet others before sitting down.

Edited to hand over the reins....

Excellent work Idiot!!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I waited too long to book my flight from YYZ to YVR (just did it today), and all I could get at the student fare was a YYZ X/YYC YVR which arrives YVR at some ungodly hour like 2100. Well, I can fix that with a little "stand-by list" action. I expect to be into YVR at 16:57. I'll be standing-by for an oversold YYC-YVR flight, but hey, I'm AC Elite... I'm allowed bo be overly confident about it http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

BlondeBomber: I presume you are flying YYC-YVR on Friday? If so, what flight are you on?

I'll be around for earl drinks at the AquaRiva

Fisch: I got the same deal that you did at the Delta, so I may see you around there. I get into to YVR on Saturday at 2:06, then maybe some shopping. But after that I'll be around. I'm looking forward to meeting you. I have connections with Queen's that go way back.

Roxy, Shark Club and Cactus Club???? What is going on...is this some plan to hit all the tourist places...or show visitors a nicer side of Vangroovy? These are all severely lame places...

Why not: Babalu (atleast a closer age group), The Creek (people can take water taxis), Yaletown Brew Pub, Carderos, Bridges Lounge, Steamworks (personal fav)....not even getting into a list of good pubs.

Roxy is suburban drunks under 25.
Cactus Club is for tourists with terrible food.
Shark Club is for sports guys and their puck bunnies...and has too much ego.


Dorian

I might be able to swing a list at Babalus...

Well, sorry for being lame.

Noticed there wasn't a plan for Friday and thought that some people might like to do something that night. The floor is yours.....

Post removed as it was misconstrued as a flame. Sorry.

I just saw "Everest" at an IMAX theatre
here in Houston last Saturday. Spectacular!
I'm sorry not to be able to be in Vancouver
with you all this week...looking forward to
seeing some of you in San Diego in July.
