Quick summary of a quick visit

Was in and out of Vancouver way too fast.  That said, it was a great time.  The hotel was brand new and a great deal in the perfect part of town - down by the water on the eastern side of Downtown

Had a lovely dinner at Rav and Ryan's place on Sunday night.  I had been really looking forward to seeing them again, and it was just so nice to spend time with friends when everything else is feeling a bit alien.  Fergie is gorgeous in that very special way that only bulldogs have, and they are certainly doting parents :)

Spent my last day chasing up chores (washing, organising train tickets) before paying a visit to the aquarium.  Really couldn't leave Vancouver without seeing the sea otters and belugas

All in all, too short a stay, but a great one.
