Little Miss had relatives who moved out to the Bay area. Not missing a chance (or excuse?) to explore a new spot in the USA, we were happy to spend an extra long weekend to fly out to the area. Now due to their young one, and only being in the area for a few days we didn’t cover everything in the area. But we did enjoy our time visiting with them and what we got to see.
Travel had not yet returned because restrictions were still in place. In response to that Air Canada, or Aeroplan, offered up ways to achieve frequent flyer status for 2023. After some calculations, I realized I could achieve my goal by adding a round trip to Vancouver. However, without vacation available, it was going to be a day trip!
With only a few days in the city, what to see and do? Well, we visited a few highlights including the Aquarium, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, and Granville Island.
Here’s a quick review of the hotel, a Hampton Inn, that we stayed for three of the four nights while we were in Vancouver.
In 2021 airfare, even Canadian domestic fares, were very low. It became so low that I couldn’t pass up the chance to visit Vancouver. We chose to go in the fall to avoid large crowds and hope that the we would have excellent weather. After all, we were only going for a long weekend.
