Re: The Vancouver Lookout Tower at Harbour Centre
As many times as I've visited Vancouver, I've never been to the top of this tower. Will have to make a point of doing so when I'm next there on a clear day. Vancouver is perhaps the most beautiful city in the world (I know, many places are), but the setting is absolutely magnificent. Sadly, it's been overpopulated and is now one of the most expensive cities in North America. But it still is lovely, as your blog so clearly shows. Thanks, Samantha!

Re: The Vancouver Lookout Tower at Harbour Centre
So glad that you and Gene had a good time. Vancouver is a beautiful city but as the good Doctor mentioned it has become overpopulated and expensive. Looks like you had some very nice weather though. Dining in the tower is a great way to enjoy the view. The last time I did that was in the early 80s. Happy belated Anniversary as well.

Re: January 21, 2016. Happy Days !
I had similar thoughts as I was shoveling snow. For me, just getting out and traveling is the "battery recharger" I need. I don't have a single place I go back to again and again, usually wanting to get to places I haven't been to yet while I'm still able to. I know some day I won't be able to travel. as extensively as I do now. Regarding places I love to visit more than once, Hawaii ranks high on the list, especially the Big Island. I am fascinating by those volcanoes and the Big Island...
