ultimate destination and the escape from the big city, we are very
fortunate to have a few of the worlds most beautiful and vibrant
cities nearby. These cities serve as the access point to the
islands and are well worth a visit
Why not spend a day or two
exploring these areas on your way out here.

Seattle: Seattle's main attractions are the busy stalls and
cafés of Pike Place Market and the restored
nineteenth-century Pioneer Square , lined with
restaurants and taverns. A stroll along the more touristy waterfront
lets you enjoy fabulous views of Elliott Bay. At the Seattle
Center in the north, the Space Needle presides over
cultural institutions and carnival rides, as well as the
city's latest draw, the Experience Music Project .
Several outlying districts are often livelier than downtown: Capitol
Hill 's cafés and bars are the heart of the city's
hipster scene, and the University District is a
student area with inexpensive cafés and up-tempo nightlife.

Vancouver:
Vancouver is not a city which offers or requires lots of
relentless sightseeing. Its breathtaking physical beauty makes it a
place where often it's enough just to wander and watch the world go
by - "the sort of town", wrote Jan Morris, "nearly
everyone would want to live in." In summer you'll probably end
up doing what the locals do, if not actually sailing, hiking,
skiing, fishing or whatever, then certainly going to the beach,
lounging in one of the parks or spending time in waterfront cafés.

Whistler:
126 kilometers north of Vancouver,
Whistler is Canada's finest
four-season resort, and frequently ranks among most people's world
top-five winter ski resorts. In 1996, for the first time ever, Ski
, Snow Country and Skiing magazines were unanimous in
voting it North America's top skiing destination. Skiing and
snowboarding are clearly the main activities, but all manner of
other winter sports are possible and in summer the lifts keep
running to provide supreme highline hiking and other outdoor
activities (not to mention North America's finest summer skiing).
Standards are high, and for those raised on the queues and waits at
European resorts, the ease with which you can get onto the slopes
here will come as a pleasant surprise. More
