Glad I'm not in Vancouver today. I thought they were more civilized than that.
It was very unfortunate what happened but I can't wait to visit Vancouver this summer!

What happened in Vancouver is something that could happen anywhere in the world with a few bad apples in the group to instigate, even in the U.S. I am not concerned with our trip next month and will not be judging Vancouver based on this incident.
happens everywhere when there are big sporting events. Compared to many Europeon cities this was pretty tame!

Very true. It's unfortunate that it happens, but it does all over the world after major sporting events.What happened in Vancouver is something that could happen anywhere in the world with a few bad apples in the group to instigate, even in the U.S. I am not concerned with our trip next month and will not be judging Vancouver based on this incident.
I'm still looking forward to visiting Vancouver next month, but I'd agree with the advice I saw on another thread: leave your Bruins gear at home. (For that matter, I'd leave anything Boston/New England at home...)
Thanks for the update, that's great news
We're flying our homeward flights with them on July 5, and I was quite anxious - other carriers YVR-NYC were booked pretty solid, and even creative routing wasn't helping.
Let's hope the "tentative" holds up.
The idiots who were most involved in the disgraceful actions last night were not hockey fans. Most of the incidents were begun by a small group of angry young men who used the large crowd to their advantage. Please do not think you will be hassled for wearing your team colours proudly! (Some of my closest friends are Red Sox fans)
While last night was awful, I am proud of my fellow Vancouverites for the great response in volunteering to help with the clean up this morning.

The workers went back to work on Friday.Does anyone know how the status of the Air Canada info is affecting the flights? Are they still running on time? Check-ins still stable or should we plan on going even earlier for our flight?
Last I heard was they had a tempory agreement and will be voting and such in the next couple of weeks but thats about the time frame we leave to fly out to Vancouver.
I just found a really good Hotwire rate for a 5 star in Vancouver...booked it and it turned out to be the Sutton Place. Any reviews? I was hoping for the Pan Pacific, but alas, it was not to be.

We did the same thing - I was hoping for the Pan Pacific, but ended up with Sutton Place. Compounding that was not such great reviews from those who booked through Hotwire. We checked in with trepidation! And were very pleased! Our room was lovely, we were very comfortable, and were situated right in the middle of downtown. You will enjoy this hotel! We were there May 15-17, right before our cruise.
