Hello to all the PERB members. I am new here, and have never visited Vancouver, but I have previously posted on the Montreal board. I know very little about the Vancouver area, and apologize if my questions are too basic. However, I have browsed the board and not really found answers. I have the opportunity to fly to Seattle for a long weekend. My idea is to drive a rental car to Vancouver and spend my time there. Is this a practical idea? Is there some other form of efficient transportation available from the seattle airport to Vancouver? How far is the seattle airport? Also, what part of the city should I stay? I would like to park the car once I'm there and set out on foot, cab, or public transport. I would like to stay in a moderately priced, sp friendly hotel, not far from other action such as bars, restaurants, strip clubs, etc. One way to put this is that I am looking for a trip similar to the great times I have had in Montreal. Is this possible? Thanks in advance to those willing to help.
