Vancouver realistic agenda with charter tour?

Let me know if you head to New England so Icahn return the favor

I'm actually a maritimer! My family originates from New Brunswick and I may be heading back there next summer so New England could be in my future

Give me a head start to research!

Finally got the restaurant thread done but I posted it in the Vancouver thread that is stickied because I figured more people would see it there. I'll work on Granville Island next and post it there as well. Here is the link to the dining post

Thought I would bump this to the top since it's almost time for cruising out of Vancouver season! There's a lot of info on Stanley Park on page 1

Granville...the public market has hours, but the place is just a place. There's a hotel there and restaurants, etc.

And it's not an island. Seems like it from downtown Vancouver, but from further south it's just an outjutting of land. You can take cute little tiny boats, you can walk (long walk across big scary bridge from downtown), you can drive onto it. Not something I would include in a tour, especially just one hour long, but others did cover that already.

DH likes visiting Chinatown type places, but he avoids the Vancouver one. Most of the Asian businesses, I have read, moved out of the chinatown area so there's not much there, it seems. Gastown, like was said, is a couple blocks. There's a Spaghetti Factory restaurant there. If you've been to one in the States it's similar but also different, menu-wise.

Our fave for dinner, honestly, is the Red Robin on Robson. It's upstairs but there IS an elevator to get up there.

Or we go to one of the crepe places around.
