After our stay at the Holiday Inn Express,Metrotown Burnaby for the Stargate convention we moved to downtown Vancouver for a couple of days. Since we have had great stays at all of the Holiday Inns we have stayed in so far, we decided to stay at the Holiday Inn & Suites, Vancouver Downtown, at 1110 Howe St. The cost for the 2 days was $104 for the first night and $137 for the second. We booked it a couple of days before we intended to leave Burnaby. Trying to save on yet another taxi fare, we decide to catch the Skytrain from…

This week we attended the Stargate Convention in Burnaby, Vancouver. We purchased the Preferred Weekend Package for the event which wasn’t as good as the Gold Package but unfortunately it was a last minute idea to attend and the Gold tickets were sold out. The Preferred Package got us a reserved ticket (albeit down the back of the hall), complimentary autographs by most of the stars attending and a tour of the Stargate set at Bridge Studios. There were also a number of extra activities like the Chocolate Fantasy Welcoming Bingo Party with Dan Shea and David Palffy as the bingo…

Fortunately, the Holiday Inn is within a few minutes walk to the Hilton so it still worked out well. Getting to Burnaby wasn’t as easy as we thought. Most airports have shuttle buses but when we got to Vancouver airport the only transportation available was a bus that only went to Downtown Vancouver. The lady at the information booth recommended…
Stargate SG1 & Stargate Atlantis Convention, Burnaby, Vancouver 2008

After leaving San Diego to head to Vancouver for the Stargate Convention, we learned one valuable lesson, pack something to eat on the plane as they only serve drinks. We arrive at Vancouver airport and decide to take a limousine to the hotel, mainly because it is only slightly dearer than a taxi and if we take a shuttle, we have to change buses or transfer to the Skytrain as we are going to Burnaby. So we feel pretty special arriving at the Holiday Inn in our sleek black limo. After booking in and dropping off our bags we head…
