Hello VanDopers!
I’m going to be in your city this Friday, until next Thursday. It’s my first trip to Canada. Yay!
Anyone free for weekday dinners or weekend brunch/lunch/dinner?
Oh. The other Vancouver. Well never mind then!
Well, sure! If nobody else responds, pm me. (And EvilTOJ, the [del]lesser[/del] other Vancouver is only a few hours south… come on up!)
Yes, I learned there was a Vancouver in WA when I almost booked the wrong flight.
Thanks, I PM’ed you. Interesting occupation you have listed in your profile. I would like to learn more. And perhaps I could regale you with SDMB folklore.
Are there many Vancouver dopers?
I can free up a night, apart from Monday and Thursday. What part of town are you in?
You lucked out, weather-wise - October is not nearly this nice, most years.
Well, going by this thread, it appears that the VanDope population has gone up 50% this week.
I’m in downtown. Yeah, weather’s great and city’s beautiful.
Let me know what evening works for you. I just made plans for Sat night, and Dr. Drake and I are still playing phone tag to figure out when to meet.
Who knew international voice roaming to Canada was so expensive? $0.79 a minute. Signed up for a 20MB roaming plan for $24.99, and one Google map search took 2.7MB. So I can do one Google map search a day; you guys better give me good directions 
This happened more than once during the Olympics.
Have just checked messages – I’ll give you a call later today. Maybe Tuesday evening, to include Larry Mudd and give anyone else time to check in?
ETA: Will text, to save your roaming bill.
Hi, xash. We enjoyed meeting you in person — sorry if we over-walked you. Was the visit successful in the end?
Thanks, Dr. Drake. It was great meeting you guys too. And thanks for showing me around. Was a fun walk
Yes, my trip was was all good. I’m definitely coming back to Vancouver sometime; it’s just so darn beautiful.
