Vancouver and the Sea to Sky

Philippine Airlines, Singapore to Manila and Manila to Vancouver, landing at 17:55. Collect the rental car at the airport — it is a one-way hire, and it gets handed back eleven days later at a railway station 800 km away.

Twenty-five minutes into the city. Fairmont Waterfront, on Canada Place, for two nights.

The only full day in the city, and deliberately unstructured — the next eleven days are all scheduled.

Highway 99 north — an hour and a half if you do not stop, and nobody does not stop.

Nita Lake Lodge in Whistler, one night.
