    Yeah, I read and saved that article (in The Province, Feb. 20th).

    Interesting thing he said though:

    ..."They said they were to pick up the guy in the blue [Volkswagen] Golf in the house with the Ferrari" said McMynn, who earlier testified that he was kidnapped by two gunmen who cut off his VW on a street near his family's West-side home.

    "I was surprised that he knew we had a Ferrari because it was always in the garage. He also knew that it had been gone for a while."
    ...

    Sounds to me the car was a garage queen and not driven frequently.

    Hi everybody!

    I've been visiting BC on 3 previous occasions, but only the immediate Vancouver area.

    We've booked a cruise to Alaska (departing from Vancouver) in mid-May and will take a second week to "explore" parts of BC (around Vancouver). Will rent a car and stay in motels. Any tips or itineraries for places a tourist (who likes nature more than museums or F-car showrooms...) should visit?

    Also, my niece and some of her friends are coming from Switzerland to Canada in July/August (2-weeks East Coast, 4 weeks in the West). So please expand on the list of suggestions even if it covers more than just a one-week stay, as they will travel for a full month.

    Thanks a lot in advance, and I will return the favour if anyone from out West ever wants to visit the East Coast....

    Walter

    For Nature: A stroll in Stanley Park on a nice sunny day, there's also birdwatching which you would enjoy. And definitely the Eco-Tours & Sea Safaris, where you are able to view the islands, seals, wildlife etc. and the natural setting of Vancouver.

    Aside from the other suggestions members may give, take a look at tourism Vancouver for reference. http://www.tourismvancouver.com/visitors/things_to_do/
