Schmoodle! That's awesome that you'll be in these parts!
I wouldn't be a good person to ask for advice about Vancouver though. I'm on Vancouver Island, and avoid the mainland like the plague. Big cities intimidate me

Even though it's only a 1.5 hour ferry ride away, I only make it over there maybe once a year, and only if absolutely necessary.
However, having said that..Vancouver is a gorgeous city. Stanley park is amazing...incredible beaches, and the Vancouver Aquarium is not to be missed. And supposedly the shopping is incredible...if you like that sort of thing...

I personally am not one who thinks shopping is fun..probably comes from years of being too broke to buy what I want
Thank you for the continued thoughts for me and Mom and our family. I truly believe it has something to do with these good results!
Now we have much more waiting. I will let you know when I find out the date of the PET scan. It will be quite a while though, I believe Vancouver has the only machine in BC.
