Vancouver Vacay almost here

I'm pretty much done researching what I might potentially do while in Vancouver. I'll have my local buddy to help me, but I'm excited to travel again on my own.

I'll be staying at a hostel (HI Vancouver Downtown) on the West End near Davie St. It's their Gayborhood. I expect it to be bumping because it's Pride Weekend! Yay!

Here is what I came up with for ideas on what to do. I will try to wing it and be spontanous, but I'll be doing a few of these things below:

PLACES TO SEE

• Stanley Park (especially the Sea Wall) for a quick jog or stroll. Possibly the Aquarium?
• Lynn Canyon Park
• Harbour Centre Tower: The Lookout
  
• Granville Island (I'd like to check out the market and possible grab some grub?)
• Vancouver Art Gallery
• Dr. Sun Yat Sen Chinese Garden
• Museum of Anthropology

PRIDE / NIGHTLIFE

** Trip Advisor gave me some good ideas.

• Celebration of Light at English Bay (Saturday Finale Fireworks Show)
• Odyssey Night Club (Saturday)
• Pride Parade (Sunday)
• Pride Festival at Sunset Beach (Sunday)
• Celebrities (Sunday)
• Numbers (Sunday)
• 1181 - Looks like a cool 'stand and see pretty people' place. :)
  

SHOP

• Robson Street
• Yaletown
• Chinatown Night Market
• Metrotown

I'm still looking for Good Eats and Cafe's to chill at. :)
