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.
For our final full day, we had a day trip out to Drumheller. This town is home to the majestic Royal Tyrrell Museum that is filled with Dinosaur fossils found throughout the province.
