Unlike many of our trips where we arrive travel worn, exhausted and ready to fall into the closest bed, we arrived in Vancouver on a cruise ship with the city as our last port and strolled off casually into a typically gorgeous Vancouver day. I had been to Vancouver before but only long enough to take a taxi from the cruise port to the airport – just long enough to think “Wow, what a beautiful city – I need to come back here.” So here I was. With a few days to get to know this city with its gorgeous skyline, beautiful harbor and access to incredible wilderness areas.
I have become a fan of staying in a boutique hotel or a bed and breakfast instead of a chain hotel when my husband and I are traveling. They seem to have so much more character, are more relaxing, often have local, knowledgeable people who can direct us to the best things to see and do in the area – and they often include a wonderful breakfast.
Since, as you know, our travels are planned around getting fed in the best possible way.
