Continue north out of Vancouver BC and travel up the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. A absolutely awesome drive.

Thanx for replying, I will try that if I DO go to Vancouver. The reason I say "If I DO" is because, I just went to Buffalo this past week but because of certain complications, my luggage got lost by the airline and the luggage contained my father's and my PASSPORTS. Hopefully they will find the luggage soon, or hopefully the Embassy can make a new one for me--before the 26th of June.

The whole passport system is really a shambles right now so I wouldn't bet the farm on getting a replacement in a resonable time frame. FYI and I'm sure you know that now but never put your passport in your checked luggage. It doesn't do you any good if it isn't on your person.

I have learned my lesson. But I have good news: they found the luggage, finally, after 3 stressful days.

Just for curiosity, what airline lost your luggage. I lost mine for 5 days with Air Canada and I understand that they are notorious for that.

U.S Airways lost my luggage, but that was when I was coming from Buffalo to North Carolina.

Vancouver has an excellant transportation system. Purchace a all day buss pass, this allowes you to ride the busses, skytrain, and water taxies all day. Take the water taxi to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver, there is a neat public market there, then take the cable car up Grouse Mountain, Another public market is on Granvelle Island, take the water taxi acrrost False Creek.

There are a lot of things to do in Vancouver.

I'll be in Vancouver in mid September - so thanks everyone for the thoughts of what to see!

Wats up everyone; back from Vancouver and Atlanta, GA. In Vancouver, I saw sooooo many places in such a shoooooort amount of time. I checked out Grouse mountain, Granville Island, Qeau Market, walked on a beach, Suspension bridge, had sushi and went to Whistler. It was an awesome trip--got very tired during and at the end of the trip, after which I had to catch a plane to Atlanta, GA--the next day. Atlanta was alright, mostly stayed up late and played video games, helped with photography for a special event (3 day event--the main event was on July 11th. Before which I had an hour of sleep and then got back in bed 24 hours later--those were crazy days). Then spent time with family and now I am back in my home from my little adventure. Just unpacking.

Oh and I forget to mention how helpful the GPS was during the trips. The nuvi 350 helped when my aunt got lost a few times and spotted a few red camera lights. What sucked about the Nuvi was since I didn't always leave it on, it took a while to connect to the satellites, and by the time it connected my aunt would sometimes find the way and then everybody in the car would make fun of my dear GPS--it hurt my feelings
