On a recent trip to Victoria from Seattle, we decided to take the long way home and drive from…read moreVictoria to Nanaimo, ride the ferry to Vancouver, and spend the day there before returning home. I recommend taking Highway 1A and driving through the little towns of Chemainus (stop here if you have time, otherwise admire the many murals from your car), Saltair, and Ladysmith. 1A will take you to the Duke Point Ferry Terminal, or you can spend some time in Nanaimo and find the best Nanaimo bar (look up the Nanaimo Bar Trail and you'll find many suggestions for who sells them). Situated on a windy finger of land that shares Jack Point and Biggs Park, the ferry terminal itself is well organized and about 20+ lanes across. Buy your tickets online to save time and make sure you get to there an hour before departure. At the window, you can pay your fare or the agent will scan the prepaid barcode In your email. You are then assigned a lane. You can wait in your car or get out and walk around, grab a snack, use the restroom, take in the view, or pose with two orca statues flanking the walkway to the terminal. On the day we were there, two tents were set up with local arts and crafts. A large digital sign gave sailing information and PSAs about COVID safety. When it was time for everyone to board, an announcement was made asking us to return to our vehicles. About 10 or 15 minutes later, attendants guided us to the awaiting ferry. Everything was orderly and well organized, and I can't wait to come back.

At this point the track splits (one fork to YVR, other fork to Richmond-Brighouse), so be sure to check which fork your train is on. This information is displayed at the front of the train (both inside and outside). As this station is also a major hub for buses servicing Richmond and Delta/Tsawwassen, it can get busy.

I had the traditional breakfast with bacon, potatoes, toast and salsa. My eggs were over medium. My husband had the traditional breakfast with ham, croissant roll and his eggs were over easy. I also ordered a pot of tea and asked if I could have a refill pot of hot water after I finished this one. The answer was yes. There are many places to see on the ferry and my next choice was the gift store. Every gift store is different. This ship didn't have the British Columbia section of books for sale, but they had nice looking clothes for men and women. I took my reading selection and finished my time next to my hubby with my cup of unfinished tea. Next trip I will provide photos.

Once Upon a Time, my wife and I visited this storyb(r)ook fairy-tale fishing village situated at…read morethe mouth of the Fraser River, a few miles south of Vancouver, BC, to celebrate our third anniversary. We visited several places she had seen in one of her favorite television mini-series, including Granny's Diner (Cannery Cafe), Mr. Gold's Pawnshop (Mr. Gold's Gelato), the ruined clock tower (a similarly run-down antique mall), and several other filming locations around the area. We went souvenir shopping at the wharf, where locals purchased fresh seafood (particularly spot prawns) right off the boat, stopped for drinks at a riverside cafe (Blue Canoe), and stayed three nights at the Steveston Cafe & Hotel, located just a block away from all the action, among many other things. Our adventure seemed limitless, for there seemed to be something new to discover around every corner, whether it be a shop, a restaurant, or a landmark of historical interest. We loved every minute of it. When our time came to return home to "the real world", we left feeling a bit listless and melancholy, after having had such a wonderful time. Fortunately, we took home with us an innumerable number of photos, a few souvenirs, and a priceless collection of memories of our time spent together in this quaint, curious and magical place. And we lived happily ever after!

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE This review is for the Richmond…read morelocation and flight departing from there (it appears some other Yelpers may have posted their downtown Vancouver location reviews here). 4.5 stars: it's pricey but the service is fast and great - huge time-saver over other travel options (e.g. ferry or non-seaplane flights out of YVR). Helijet is nice and fast too, but you get bigger windows to observe Beautiful British Columbia from the sky on Harbour Air! === 2. SERVICE I purchased a goGOLD return ticket between Richmond and Victoria and the process was easy online. This being my first flight with Harbour Air, I was unsure how to select seats but an e-mail to the company was quickly and professionally replied to and within 30 mins, I had my desired seat. When struggling to get to the terminal 30 mins before my flight, a call to customer service yielded another courteous and professional response and fears allayed. Check-in was also professional and before you know it, it was time to boarded, aided by yet two more professional young folks. === 3. FLIGHT Mick was the pilot on this flight - always good to have an Aussie with a relaxed attitude fly your plane. It's clearly an older aircraft but it's clean and if you're not too large (a larger fellow well over 6', 250lbs had some challenges fitting in the middle) the available legroom should be able to accommodate you. It seats about 11 passengers and your carry-ons are placed in the back by the pilot upon boarding. Tip 1: you can sit in the co-pilot's seat on the single-engine aircraft - just ask nicely and depending on the pilot, they may let you! Tip 2: if you book a goGOLD ticket, you can get advance seat selection. The left side of the aircraft has single seats while the right side as two seats (side-by-side) - it's more comfortable seated on the left side naturally. You watch a two-minute safety video via iPad placed at the front and then you're on your way! The flight is 30 minutes or less between Vancouver and Victoria and it features great views from below 5,000ft for the entire journey. Earplugs are available for those sensitive to louder noises (like the main propeller). === 4. TERMINAL It's an older building and it's adjacent to The Flying Beaver pub/restaurant (in fact the restrooms, should you need them, are in the restaurant). There are three or four check-in counter spots, plenty of gifts and company-branded merchandise on display. However there is a leather bench and some leather chairs close to the entrance, alongside the complimentary coffee, tea, water, fruit, earplugs, and in this location: pastries! (Not all locations have pastries available.)

Harbour Air Customer Service needs review. I booked a trip four months ago to Salt Spring Island…read moreand back to Richmond in March and April. Each flight under a Light Fare status. All this time later, I unfortunately cannot complete this flight and asked if I could get a refund. The answer was no, the policy is that these flights are non-refundable. No exceptions. I asked if they can be transferred to someone else. Answer? No, they can't. I will have to forfeit my payment in full. So if I don't actually go into the system to cancel, then Harbour Air cannot sell those seats to anyone else either unless it is very last minute when I don't show up. How does this make sense to their business model? (I could easily make changes to the hotel I booked on Salt Spring Island, and they were very willing to help me.) The competition is right next door with Seair Seaplanes.

We were staying in Richmond and decided to take the SkyTrain into downtown Vancouver. Even though…read morewe had a car we didn't want to deal with traffic or pay for parking. We walked to the station. The station was clean. It had fare gates. Side note: The Seattle area light rail system doesn't have fare gates. Payment is on an honor system and fare ambassadors are rare. Sleeping homeless people don't get kicked off the train either. Tap-to-Pay and ticket kiosks were available payment options. We got first dibs on seats because it's a southern terminus station. The train was packed by the time we reached downtown.

Terminus station for the Canada Line in the heart of Richmond, across from Richmond Centre…read more As there is only a single track feeding this station, there is only 1 platform. Basically show up and take the train out of Richmond. There is some neat mirror artwork on the platform level. Something to look at while using the escalators. Speaking of escalators, my one complaint is that the escalator only goes up. Anyone heading down has to take the stairs. With that said, I'm sure there's an elevator somewhere.

Besides the normal ground level…read moreentrance/exit, this one also has an upper exit that connects the (northbound) platform directly to Aberdeen Square (food court area).

Aberdeen Station is the main SkyTrain station if you are heading to Richmond's Golden Village. This…read moreis an elevated station that is above street level of No. 3 Road. It is named after the nearby shopping mall, Aberdeen Centre. The location of this station is convenient as it convenient to numerous Asian shopping malls in the area. In addition to the aforementioned Aberdeen Centre, it is within walking distance of Yaohan Centre, President Plaza and Parker Place. If you are looking for good Chinese food, you will find plenty of it in the vicinity of this station. On my last trip to Richmond, I ended up using this station the most. The hotel (Pacific Gateway) in Richmond I was staying at had an airport shuttle, but didn't have one for Richmond. So I ended up walking to and from here quite often when I wanted to head north to Vancouver. While I would have liked this station to have been closer, it was still within reasonable walking distance and it was only about a 20 minute walk. The waiting times at this station are a bit longer than at the previous station (Bridgeport) because the southbound Canada Line splits off with one part headed to this station, while the other one is YVR bound. Still the waiting time during the daytime is 6 minutes at the most which seems reasonable. If you need to get to and from Richmond's Golden Village from downtown Vancouver, I would recommend taking a SkyTrain to this station as it is convenient and has frequent train service.
