Both were great. The view of the water from the Pan Pacific was quite nice.

Check out the Observatory at Grouse Mountain for dinner. Incredible dining experience.

+1 on the Pan Pacific. Great view.

If you want to go funky in Seattle, and keep the rock n' roll vibe going, stay at the Edgewater, scene of some famous debauchery involving Led Zeppelin, a groupie, and a fish.

I owned a 928 for several years. Loved that car.

Pray for good weather on Friday. We have a 40 minute layover in San Fran to make our connecting flight. Any hick-ups in Chicago........

I've never been to the SanFran airport, no idea what worst case scenario is making it to connecting flights.

I already new this was on the list since I've made this walk before:
At Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, a passenger could walk 5,536 feet (about 1.04 miles) by taking a long stroll from Concourse C in Terminal 1, through the 745-foot underground pedestrian tunnel, past all the gates in Concourse B and back out to the end of the L Concourse in Terminal 3.

We made it!

First meal in Canada at 1am @ Buckstop on Denman.

I'm going to gain 20lbs this week. I had a "Porknado" sandwich.
A pork patty topped with a massive pile of pulled pork, tempura bacon & a pork rib on top of the bun.
This was under "small plates".

We had a great time last night at Red Truck! Awesome live music too, we were hoping to catch some live local acts this week.

Ray went with us to the Craft Beer Market after. Erik wanted to sample all 100 beers on tap...

Thank you to everyone that came out, always fun meeting people from the list! Vancouver is so much fun, very beautiful city, even in the rain.
We will definitely be back!

Here's the group photo.

It was great to see everyone!

Erik & Lorelei...nice to meet you and enjoy the rest of your stay in Vancouver! Don't worry, you won't run out of beer options!

Malcolm...drop us a line whenever you guys are coming to the coast and we can meet-up for drinks again!

Great to see many of our 928 Gruppe out for a very enjoyable evening. Erik & Lorelei, it was fun to meet you both!
Malcolm, I sure we'll see you at the PCA Treffen in Banff later this year.
Cheers,

Any chance someone could put names to faces on that pic.

I may never meet some of you, but it would be nice to know who is who..
