This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Agree below, Vancouver can be done in 1.5 days. by Wooderson

But also, regarding Banff, you may want to do an over night train from Calgary to Vancouver, so you get the Canadian Rockies in there, to eat up two days of time.

In Vancouver itself (been a while since I was last there), it'll like be on the cooler side, being in November, but it's close enough to Seattle that it's similar weather.

Capilano Bridge Park is interesting and offers outdoorsy hiking, you can follow it up with beers and food at the ferry landing in North Vancouver.

If you liked MacGuyver or BSG, you'll see some familiar sights (the Library is pretty awesome).

Can't speak to restaurants really, it was a work trip and I was sort of in a hurry. Yaletown/Roundhouse area is good for walking around and finding something to eat, as well as Stanley Park area.

If you're seeing Bruce at one of the stadiums, they're pretty much next to each other.

The SkyTrain is great.

Seattle is two hours by train if you're looking to tack on more stops.
There will be some rough sights on the streets, just keep walking.
