Oakland to Whistler
I know that everyone is breathless wondering what we're going to do.
I have tentatively decided to fly to Seattle, rent a car, drive to Vancouver, overnight there and drive the rest of the way to Whistler the next day. I've looked on Priceline and it appears that I can get a pretty good rate at the Renaissance Hotel in Vancouver. Any comments on the hotel or alternative suggestions? |

Oakland to Whistler
If you want an perfect location, the Sylvia Hotel is right on English Bay
and an easy walk to Stanley Park and good access to the Lions Gate Bridge when you head north the next day. It's not fancy or new but very popular and more memorable than a 'big box' hotel. There's even a song about it - how cool is that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE8CaKRsGvU my 2 cents "bob edwards" wrote in message ...

Oakland to Whistler
We've stayed at the Sylvia Hotel - not new or 'big box' fancy but it's very
popular being right on English Bay and an stoll to Stanley Park. The Lions Gate Bridge north to Whistler runs through the park. Cheryl Wheeler even wrote a song about it (check YouTube); how cool is that? "bob edwards" wrote in message ... I know that everyone is breathless wondering what we're going to do.

Oakland to Whistler
Look into flying OAK-BLI and renting the car there..its a lot more laid back
at BLI and None of the heavy traffic you find at SEA. Its just a 20 minute drive from BLI to the border. Take the "truck Crossing" exit (Hwy 548 IIRC ) just before the border for shorter lineups My ladyfriend and I are going to go from Oakland to Whistler in a few months for a wedding and I'm trying to decide how we should go. |
