I had a great conference in Vancouver. Headed to Vancouver by myself on Friday September 20, 2025. She enjoyed Steve's Poke Bowl for dinner (AA recommended it, and it was sure good). She watched the sea planes land and enjoyed her dinner. She was very excited to see the cruise ships in the harbour.
AA came the day later, as Lola had meetings Saturday Morning.
Saturday - Lola went to the meeting and AA explored and had a nap as he was up very early to catch his flight.
We went for dinner along the harbour at Lift Bar Grill View. They enjoyed their fish dishes and watching the boats and seals in the water. They walked back to the hotel, Pinnacle Harbourview along the sea wall, enjoying the sunset and the olympic flame.
Sunday Morning, Lola had off so we boarded a bus and headed to Capilano Suspension Bridge. It was an amazing experience, "climbing" in the tree tops, crossing the suspension bridge, and enjoying the cliff walk. We had hot beverages as we walked, and really enjoyed the birds. AA always wants to see a Falcon and we finally saw one. A visit to the Gift store and then headed back on the 20 minute bus ride back downtown. (sorry the photos are backwards).
They went for lunch at DeDutch, where Lola actually got to eat the dutch pancake, Pannekoek. It was Gluten and Dairy Free :), and so good.
After lunch Lola had a bike tour, where she went over 15.5kms around Vancouver, exploring the bike facilities of Vancouver and public spaces. She cleaned up and headed to the welcome reception before meeting AA for Dinner at Miko. The sushi was amazing.
Monday, it was rainy, but there was a Disney Ship in the port. Lola went to the conference and AA worked from the hotel. Lola even got to see the cruise ship leave. The Monday night event we went on a sea bus across the water. We got special entrance for Allergies before everyone else got to go in, as there were two venues across from each other. One an art gallery and the other a pub.
Tuesday was another day full of meetings and the Work event in the Evening. AA went to Everett for an over night to meet with some work colleagues and do some training.
Wednesday was the last day of the conference, Lola moderated her session in the afternoon, it was a full house. Lola and AA went out for dinner at the Cactus Club Cafe, once he came back from Everett, then straight to bed, as we were both very tired.
Thursday we returned the rental car and headed to breakfast at Bellagios Cafe. Walked back to the hotel to pack up and head to the airport by the Canada Line.
It was a great conference and Lola was happy to have AA there for support and to eat some meals with :)
