Planning the length of your Stay in Vancouver
Vancouver has a lot to offer, plan to arrive Tuesday (March 13th) to rest & be ready for a full three days of GLOBE and then stay for the weekend or at least until Saturday so that you can take advantage of any GLOBE related networking or social functions that take place on Friday afternoon and evening (March 16th). Remember: Whistler is just a scenic drive or train ride away, plan to spend the weekend there - ask us how.
