Vancouver

The best decision I made in planning this vacation was to stay-over in Vancouver upon return from the Alaskan cruise. We stayed a couple of nights at the Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina located on Coal Harbour, in Downtown Vancouver's West End section, near the entrance to Stanley Park. The hotel was first-class, loaded with amenities, and perfectly located. It is not hyperbole when I say this was also the most livable, enjoyable, and beautiful city I have ever visited.
