We leave next week for our Alaska vacation. We're spending a few days in Vancouver before we cruise, and I wanted some advice on my proposed schedule.
Day 1: Arrive Vancouver Intl around 1:00 p.m. Meet up with MIL and FIL (they are on a separate flight) and transfer to our hotel - Pacific Palisades. After checking in, I'm planning to go to Stanley Park and take the horse-drawn carriage tour around Stanley Park. If we have time, we'll do the aquarium this day, also.
Day 2: Go to Capilano Suspension Bridge in the morning and Grouse Mountain in the afternoon.
Day 3: Buy tickets on the trolley that goes all around Vancouver. Ride around and see the sights. Go to the aquarium this day if we don't make it on Day 1.
Day 4: Check out of hotel and head to Canada Place. I'm hoping we can drop our luggage at the cruise ship and look around Canada Place before boarding the ship around noon or 1:00.
I have no dining plans, but thought we would just seek places out when we get hungry with recommendations from the locals. I'm hoping to try some international foods - but no steaks (we have the best in Texas, anyway!
) and no seafood.
Is this too little planned? My MIL is late 50's and FIL is early 60's, so I don't want to run them to death, but I don't want to make the most of our time there, also. If there are other things we should try and work in, please let me know. I'll take all critiques and advice!
