OUT OF TOWN
See All Lists
1. Iron Mountain Store
When we wander out of town, whether it is just for the day or longer, we like to enJOY our travels. Getting there and back again is as important as the destination; so we usually try and avoid the busy highways which makes Dewdney Trunk Road through…More »
2. The Book Man
On our way through the area recently, my honey suggested we stop and visit The Bookman.
I was impressed. Great selection - well stocked, neat and organised selection of everything. And by everything I do mean everything.
Found some Korean language…More »
3. Renfrew Ravine Maze
How often can you do some nice meditation in a beautiful place as part of your morning walk. The idea is to concentrate on what's going on in your life while you walk slowly to the center, then out again. By the time you've finished your journey,…More »
4. West Coast Seeds
Extremely lovely store. I love seed stores almost as much as I love bookstores.
West Coast Seeds believes in the principles of organic gardening and as such they only sell untreated seeds. They have wonderful varieties of heritage, heirloom and…More »
5. George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary
An Oasis of Ornithology; an Asylum of Aviaries.
One might even call it a Sanctuary...oh wait... they did.
A very relaxing and romantic place to visit. Lots of trails to follow around the various areas. Free kissing booths, oh, wait, those are bird…More »

Delicious Peri-Peri Prawns

I would suggest saving the bread that you get at the start of the meal, to use it to soak up the delicious sauce. Or bring a straw. There is no way you will be able to leave even a drop…More »

In the area today and as full as I knew my freezer was, I couldn't resist picking up some perogies.

Public Services & Government
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
This location is no longer open extended hours. It is open from 8:30am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday.
It is however, still a sweet oasis of passport application bliss. It is no where near as busy as the downtown location - making it the perfect…More »
9. The Red Bench Diner
A lovely little cafe on the way to Whistler.
The Red Bench is in Brackendale, practically the only surviving small town on the way to Whistler.
It's got an all day breakfast, good service, and a nice laid-back ambience.
Just look for the General Store:…More »
10. Twilight Drive-In Theatre

12. Atlas Cafe
Our visit here came based on two suggestions that we try this place. One from a local friend and another from a friend who grew up here and now lives many miles away.
It was well worth their praise. Although we weren't exactly taken with the place…More »
13. Crystal Mall
Love this place. Love that it is a perfect 5 kilometer walk from my house. Because you see, Crystal Mall has one of the BEST food courts I've ever been to and it's good exercise getting there. Call it MMMMmotivation !!!
Sorry, no traditional North…More »
14. Beachwood Cafe & Bakery
Delicious coffee, great bennys.

The better choice for a meal in Princeton. A decent restaurant for the family for meals when visiting Princeton. Service is friendly and quick.
Our latest dinner visit there had us chuckling in amusement as two of the…More »
17. Cedars Motel
Very decent little motel just off the highway along one of the main streets of Princeton. It is our usual place to stay anytime we come this way if we aren't camping.

18. Nelson Canyon Park
Nelson Canyon Park
Contains many trails, the two main ones are the Whyte Lake Trail (almost in its entirety) and the Trans Canada Trail, which leads you from the Trail Head Parking Area (just off Westport, South of the TCH) up to the start of the…More »
19. Toronto Pearson International Airport
Signage is confusing and information on the departures gates can be out of date.
We arrived in Toronto on a cross-country adventure having checked in in Vancouver en-route to St. John's. The information given to us in Vancouver included the check-in…More »
20. Yellow Barn Country Produce
One of those places. One of those places where it seems like a time honoured tradition to go to, anytime you should be passing by.
It's a waypoint. A point of interest. A landmark. A checkpoint.
It is a big yellow barn in that you can see for…More »
21. St. John's International Airport
Only place in Canada where people CHEER when they land. So for this alone you gotta give the place props. Or jets. Or helicopters... ;-)
Not a large airport, by any stretch of the imagination, but the departures set up I found a bit confusing.…More »

Vancouver, BC V6A 4C7
(888) 842-7245

Train Stations
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
Train and bus station you say? Excellent. Not that I'd ever have need to use both at the same time, but it is nice to know where everything is located in this fine city.
Parking. Ugh. Pay parking. Double ugh. Pay parking with new fangled take…More »
23. Gold & Jade Restaurant

My honey and I would love to someday drive across Canada, stopping at all the little towns along the way, and visiting the Chinese restaurants that seem to always be in every town, no matter how small..... It would be a…More »
24. C-Lovers Fish & Chips
DynoMITE!!!
When we pulled in off the highway during a Sunday of adventuring around the Lower Mainland with my brother in tow for his birthday, both my honey and I knew that we had made the right choice. We didn't have to speak - it was telepathy,…More »
25. Husky
Our fave place to stop when heading out of (or back into) town.
HUSKY RESTAURANTS ROCK!!!. It's a truck stop so expect to see some colourful characters from the waitstaff, to touristy types, backpackers/hitchhikers, and truckers.
Home made food.…More »

I'm on a boat, going to an island. Or I'm coming back from one.... how could anything be wrong with that?

32. Bean Around the World Coffees
Decent coffee. Never had any problem with the service.
Our most recent stop resulted in a very delicious muffin- it was full of grains and seeds. I'm also partial to their lemon loaf. Lemonny and sweet. MMMM
If you are in the area, this is a decent…More »
33. Belaire Restaurant
Very clean and well organised. Nicely decorated - it almost feels like it is part of a chain, but I don't believe it is. Run well.
Decent food. They are fast with the coffee in the morning and that's important. Thus far, we've only had breakfasts…More »
34. Bluffs Park
Great park. Lovely trails which explore the cliffs and bluffs of the south end of Galiano Island. Access to the trails is just a short walk from the ferry, so it is possible to hike on to the island without a car. Once on the trails expect to see…More »
