Got to see the K-Mart in Bellingham, WA where all the Canadians shop. (LOL)
Plenty to see and do in Vancouver. Gaslight Square, Stanley Park, shopping in the downtown area, to the North of the main city there is a place that has a suspension bridge over a deep gorge that you walk across while the bridge rocks side to side. It is a very neat and scenic city - a boat ride around the city is great. The Vancouver area shouldn't be cold in late August; further North on the cruise could be (haven't done that, yet).
The ferry trip from Vancouver to Victoria is really great but needs at least two days to do right.
Don't forget to take your Passport! Think they are now required to get into Canada. If you don't have one already, pay the extra fee to have it expedited - normal handling takes about three months!
And Peeps - it's the North WEST. But since your a newbie, no harm - no foul. Welcome to TOTV!
