First I must thank Leonardo from Italy for his message and, of course, John in San Diego for the amazing amount of great information that he has given to me. John, your descriptions of the area will, I'm sure, have many other Ziners ready to fly off and explore that area.

My delay in sending thanks and responding is because I've just spent the last week with my husbamd in Vancouver. Bob was helping organise a conference and I went along for the ride. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I was reminded once again what a great City Vancouver is and encourage more and more of you to come and visit!

We stayed at the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel, very central, and fairly new. Not overly fancy but very comfortable and I don't believe I have stayed anywhere else where the staff have all been so helpful.

We were impressed. - Incidentally, I've noticed this hotel comes up fairly frequently on Priceline! Our one negative might be that the eating facilities within the hotel are very limited but there are so very many great restaurants all around that it's not a problem.

So now thar we are back from that little trip, we are getting down to some serious planning for Mexico. I've had so much help already but hope no-one will mind if I post more questions if I need more answers.

Thank you again. Best regards Judy Abbotsford BC
