How long does it take to reach Vancouver Airport from Vancouver Downtown using cab or bus?How much it’ll cost?

June 28, 2010 Posted by admin

I have to get out of US Consulate in downtown Vancouver around 3:30 pm on 22nd Aug and fly to Montreal on the same day. The earliest flight is 4:50 pm, and the next direct flight to Montreal is at 11PM. I need to be at my company’s conference in Montreal in the morning of Wednesday (23 Aug). I could use a Taxi–how much would it cost, and would it be faster? Or Vancouver’s traffic could be too bad? Would a bus be better–any other options to travel?

I suggest you take cab,I’ve ever taken cab from downtown vancouver to the airport.I spent $25 plus tip.
It took me about 35 minutes to there.

If you are in a hurry,take cab, if not, take buses.
In downtown,I think go to Granville street (near Robson street) take No.98 B-Line bus to YVR (have to get off at the airport transfer bus stop during the route).It takes about one hour up.
I had many times taken buses to YVR from downtown. Van

Has anyone ever used the Fairmont Hotel gym/pool at the Vancouver (YVR) airport?

June 28, 2010 Posted by admin

I have heard they have a drop in for the gym and possibly a steam room that you can use after you drop your luggage and check in at the airport. Can you please give me as many details about this if you have experienced it.

I haven’t experienced this yet, but I can provide you the weblink that you would be able to look up the information about this hotel.

I want to find cheap accomodation in vancouver to reside in at least 6 months. I cant afford hotels .?

June 28, 2010 Posted by admin

I want to know the name of such accomodation.what options do I have ? Notice that I want it to be a Safe place .

There are a few hostels downtown that are fairly good. I would recommend checking out the one on Pender street first. From there, go to commercial drive and check out the billboards/posted notes in the different coffee shops. There are many people that live around that area that are in need of roomates for relatively cheap.

Whistler / Blackcomb – Canada

June 15, 2010 Posted by admin

April 19th, 2008 as part of my Vancouver / Vancouver Island vacation, I rented a car and drove the 120 kilometers north from Vancouver to Whistler. This stretch of highway is called “Sea to Sky” just to sort of get you in the mood :) it’s a really nice drive.

After arriving in Whistler, I bought a daypass to go up on Whistler Mountain by gondola – a 20 minute ride or so.

I’m not sure if it’s the highest mountain I’ve ever been on but it’s surely the best view I’ve had from any mountain. It was windy and quite cold up there but it didn’t seem to matter :) I wanted to get some good shots from up there.

The ‘TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival’ was going on that week but even so, Whistler Village seemed like a nice and quiet place. I wonder how things will change when the 2010 Winter Olympics are held here.

For your information, I don’t ski – however, seeing this, I might have to learn how to and return some day :)

What are some good things about the 2010 vancouver olympics? ?

June 8, 2010 Posted by admin

What are some good things about the 2010 vancouver olympics? Other than a increase in tourism.

"Hi"…it made us do things that needed to be done…Sky train to YVR, improvements to the Sea to Sky highway, new Ice rinks, Richmond and UBC,improvements to Cypress, new accommodation in the downtown core in the "Athlete’s Village". This has created jobs and enabled lasting amenities for the Vancouver area long after the Olympics is over.

It will bring revenue to the whole lower Mainland and Metro Vancouver area and Whistler and that’s important !

We have a lot of youth in this country (which is geared to winter ) that will compete , want to compete and are looking forward to competing !

It will show us to the World as a modern peace loving , free and beautiful country and in these troubled global times that won’t hurt a bit ! *S*

Just my personal opinion ! *S* (Michael C…)
