hard to believe a place with merkin in the name is appetizing.

I know nothing about Vancouver except it looks pretty. I do think I’m going to fly to Seattle and rent a car because I’d rather drive a bit than have insane connections like Dallas (to Minneapolis- why?) or Denver (my least favorite airport in the world). So….

Arrive in Seattle Thursday night. Friday I’d like to either go to Rainer or maybe Olympic and drive down the coast as far as Astoria. Any advice?

We’ll head to Vancouver for 3 days from there. Where should we stay, eat, go? We’ll have a full day between shows and the day of the second show to explore.
I'll type you up a list at some point..
Still waiting. Got a pm from one of the best Canadian Rmers of all time with helpful info. He doesn’t post here anymore (that’s your clue it isn’t Stickman).

nah. I won’t go overboard with it, but I don’t want to regret not having tried a few things, like steak frites in Paris.

Last time I was in London - 20+ years ago - I didnt get a culinary experience. It was drinking, pub grub, rinse and repeat.

Any travel pants recommendations. I'm a jeans guy but need some light type multi-purpose pants that wouldn't be out of place at a restaurant or hiking the Dolomites. Ideally non-creasy so no ironing required.

Anyone have any thoughts?

NEVER! Wearing that exact combo proudly as I type.

This is for a trip to Italy we have planned later in the year. Don't want to hike in jeans and need some travel clothing that is fit for purpose.
