Hey, Vancouver, BC.

Full disclosure:

I don’t live in Vancouver but I do have a place in the Kitsilano neighborhood.
 
There, in March. I live in Vermont, but...peregrinate. I've got nine or ten days, just looking for don't miss stuff that's not in every guidebook and website.

Fuck Vancouver, take a ferry to victoria . The island is great and there are smaller islands to check out like salt spring...

I'm hoping to do exactly that. I'm in town for a five day intensive course, but will have several free.

Unless you’re looking to score heroin en route, don’t go hunting the recently separated in Yaletown on foot.
 
Husband had to work there. Hated it. Lots of drugs.
I am sure there sumething good to see
 
heads up, that's lance's latest incarnation after yet another ban. you know i don't give a fig who you chat with or don't - we all interact differently on here.

your av is so iconic.

Love you, darlin. Thanks!
 
Where in Vancouver are you staying? Downtown, Richmond, Mission? Lots of touristy things to do. Though if you want to get out of the city, the drive to Whistler is nice and there is some fantastic rock climbing Squamish (It's our Yosemite). Not to mention numerous hikes along the route. Hike up to Black Tusk within Garibaldi Prov. Park for a few days. Or you could take a ferry and hop around a few of the Southern Gulf Islands. Maybe you want to Visit Long Beach on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Just be aware it takes most of a day to get there from Vancouver. Ferries are slow (reserve a place on a specific sailing so you don't wait with all the punters).

It's difficult to give advice as I don't really know what you're into.
 
Not from Vancouver (thought I wish I were...) just stopping by to say, Hey, Perg.

I'll be near the water, where cruise ships dock, apparently. Some high rise hotel whose name shall not be publicly posted for fear of Brinnie or Lovelynice finally agreeing to marry me.

Thanks for this, but it's looking like minimal adventure time. I was thinking more in-the-city, hours long, stuff that locals know and Lonely Planet does not.

Night skiing at Grouse Mountain. Easy to get there by city transit. Take the gondola up to the top. Rent gear and ski down the "Kut" as the lights of Vancouver twinkle below you. Try for a night that's clear as it's not worth it if it's enshrouded in cloud.

Holy shit.

No wonder women worship you. That's perfect.
 
If you can get over to Victoria, it's worth it. So pretty!

A few hours...

Commercial Drive makes for good window shopping amongst various local art, furniture designers, vintage stores and stuff.

Or take the SeaBus over to Lonsdale Quay where there's a great fresh fruit/veg/sushi/chai latte plaza, then cab it up to the Capilano Suspension Bridge for a very scenic short hike.
