[Grog]

Grog..Ian will like that idea..beer..I'll just be the designated thinker...

Where exactly are you guys going to be staying?

[crazycanuck]

MM-i hear ya..

Grog-to be honest, i have no clue where in downtown van my aunt lives Somewhere nice i believe... Reminds me i need to get her address...might help if we want to drive there from the airport!

We're still throwing ideas around on what to do between the 18th & 21st..many ideas have come up..spend a few days down @ waterton or jasper or drive into montana the list is endless..

aaaarrgggggg

As mentioned before somewhere in the mists of forum chatter, I live in downtown Van.

After living in Ontario for over 40 yrs., also visiting Calgary several times and other parts of Alberta (Edmonton, Rockies, Waterton national park area, etc.) and also through Bellingham several times.....it is safe to say..... downtown Vancouver area has some beautiful vistas and things to do.

We live at the foot of the famed Seawall bike path... really it kills me to see hundreds of bikes in our building's communal bike locker...not used often. There are enough routes and scenery to inspire enough people to bike and jog in our area.

And yes (for 1 of the slides), we did bike touring in the Canadian Maritime provinces for 3 wks.

I can appreciate your problem in trip planning CC. Must be like Australia...big country, little time to see all the things you wish.

Right...don't give up on us not going to Seattle quite yet. Ian had a look at the distance from Calgary & it's not that far in his mind..

So, there might be light @ the end of the tunnel...

[crazycanuck]

we're in business...We are def driving to Seattle.

We're driving down into the US(montana) from Calgary & over to seattle. I believe we pass through Coeur D'alene & a few other places.

So,well see you Seattleites on the 19th

[bikerHen]

Okay! I'm right next door to Coeur d'Alene! And on the way to Seattle. So you have to at least stop, have a cup of coffee and say Hi! bikerHen

[crazycanuck]

Yo PNW ladies,

I am beginning to wonder where in Seattle to have dinner or whatever with you guys. We fly out next thursday night & won't be online much during our trip so i;'d like to organize something before we venture off.

I'm working on accommodation now & will keep yar updated.

Bikerhen-can you pm me about where exactly you are & how far it is off the hghway?

Tanks kids!
