1st day - Airport, Stanley Park, Gastown : The flight up from San Francisco was only a few hours. Spent more time at the airports at both ends. Vancouver airport takes you through this display of coastal and mountain life zones; it's amazing. However, you get to spend most of your visit shuffling through a massive line to the customs check - which, then, takes just a matter of seconds after all that wait.Once we got underway (after enduring another interminable wait at Avis) we drove around to get a sense of where we were. Stanley Park is beautiful and expansive, an enclave of virgin forest with awsome views out over the water that surrounds 3 sides. Vancouverans are fortunate to have such a wonderful asset right by their downtown. That evening we ended up in Gastown, a quaint area of old brick industrial buildings that has been gentrified and turned into a tourist attraction. It also has its famous "steam clock" which is run by the commercial steam system (a relic from when cities used steam as a public utility to heat and provide power to their business and industrial centers) beneath the sidewalks.

Halls Harbour : Halls Harbour, Nova Scotia - April 21 & 22/07.

The world famous Bay of Fundy tides are evident here in this picturesque little harbour. At low tide, the fishing vessels sit on the bottom of the ocean floor 42 ft. (12.8m) below the top of the wharf. They must wait for high tide to go out to sea again. There's no need for separate dry dock facilities on this shore.

Halls Harbour wharf is the first wharf in Canada to use FRP (Fiber-reinforced Polymer) construction. A severe tidal surge in 1998 destroyed the former wharf and this one was built as a pilot project in collaboration with both the Federal and Provincial governments. In nine years it has held up beautifully against the severe weather of the North Atlantic.

Halls Harbour has been featured in National Geographic Magazine 3 times. It is a perfect spot for a romantic weekend getaway or a full vacation trip. In the peak tourist season (June - Oct.) accommodation reservations are highly recommended. The seafood restaurant on the dock is rated one of the best in Nova Scotia for lobster. Visitors are asked to respect that this is a hard-working fishing village and while the locals are very friendly and accommodating, they only have a narrow 3 hour run at high tide (twice a day) to get their vessels out to sea.
