Oh the Places We'll Go

See All Lists
The best road trip of my life was through Brtish Columbia, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alberta and back to BC to catch a cruise to Alaska. Here are a couple stops along the road.

 1. Boston Pizza

2011 Innsbruck Drive RR 2
Whistler, BC V0N 1B2
Canada
(604) 932-7070

Category: Pizza

4.0 star rating
  8/8/2008 First to Review

I know I shouldn't like Boston Pizza. I know I should see it as just another chain moving in on Whistler. I should support the small businesses that are still prolific in Whistler and shun this monster. But I can't. I love this place. Cheap, fatty…More »

So on the road trip my friends and I took last year one of our goals was to go every chain restaurant in America. Not every location, just one of each. We saw the Outback near our motel and of course we needed to go. I had never been to one before…More »

Fine, I only went here because of the Decemberists song, but it was pretty damn cool. No it wasn't, but there were totally bike racks in front and I got overly excited. The people who worked there seemed used to the tourists taking photos. You can…More »

This was one of the most jacked up, ghetto, wonderful theaters I have ever had the pleasure to watch a movie in. I had heard of this theater before my friends and I got to Missoula on our road trip and I wanted to check it out. We unfortunately…More »

This place was such a disappointment. My friends and I actually drove to Edmonton on our road trip just for the mall. I had seen a documentary on it when I was younger and my mind ran with excitement ever since.
It's such a crappy mall. Yea, it's…More »

Unlike the 5-Star Banff HI, this place leaves something to be desired. The group room is huge and uninviting. The mattresses could quite possibly the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on. The hostel is far away from the town and a car is necessary…More »

My friends and I went here on the recommendation of a couple locals. It was my Aussie friend's 25th birthday so the night had to be special. In Jasper, De'd Dog is as special as you can get....and I don't mean that in a bad way at all. It feels like…More »

Throughout the beautiful 3k hike around Maligne Canyon my friends and I were excited for the 'Tea House' that would be welcoming us at the end. What we found was a dated cafeteria with sub-par food that was extremely overpriced. If they had called a…More »

By far the best hostel I have ever stayed in. This is even nicer than the HI in Munich.That's right, it that great. Huge, clean, fun and safe. It helped that we had a car though as it's kind of off the beaten track. Regardless though, my friend who…More »

After four days of Cruise food, my friends and I were ready for something different. We only wanted a bite of something different as cruise food is pretty damn good. Anyway, we asked a guy who worked on the ship where he goes when he has shore leave…More »

As my friends and I were exploring Juneau we happened upon the Capitol Building. It is so tiny. I think my local public library is bigger. One of my friends wanted to go in. The facade was nice, but I didn't understand why she would want to go in.…More »

I totally understand why banks were robbed in the Old West. Riding up on your horse, hollering out that you want every ounce of gold (or in Wallace, silver) in the place. OK, I don't actually condone bank robbing. Still, this place is right out of a…More »

After walking around the city, and spending a little time at the center of the universe, my friends and I were parched. We had happened to park in front of the 1313 club when we decided to make the small detour to Wallace.

The place is charming. The…More »

Whistler Eats (42)

So much good food in this small mountain town. Some not-too-good eats, too.

Lunchtime in WLA (3)

I'm lazy. I hardly ever bring lunch. I also see lunch as the time to escape. So boom: lunchtime excursions.

My Sweet, Sweet Santa Cruz (9)

My favorite college haunts.

Places I Used to Work (2)

So this goes into questionable Yelp territory, but I think I've still managed to stay impartial.

Let Me Entertain You: LA Edition (31)

Okay, I won't entertain you, but you will be entertained.

Los Angatbles (12)

Didn't your mommy ever tell you to eat your veggies? My mommy did. I took her at her word. Maybe a little too much.

These are the vegetarian spots that have taken my heart.

Shop Whistler (10)

On those days you just can't force yourself to get on the mountain....

Heating Up Whistler (20)

The clubs and bars of Whistler

Do(go)nuts (7)

I don't trust people who don't like donuts.

Drinking Time (8)

Portland is famous for it's booze. The only fair thing is for me to try to see if it lives up to the hype. Right?
