There are still a lot of options for our return to Vancouver. I definitely plan on doing the motorcoach tour of Vancouver. Where we go from there is open for discussion. We can do the train back to Seattle and spend the night before returning home by train or by plane. Another option is to travel to Victoria and we can do that on the same bus that we will do the tour of Vancouver. After our Vancouver tour the bus can take us to Victoria Via B. C. Ferries. We will remain with the bus on the ferry although we can get off the bus and visit the dining and refreshment options offered on the ferry. The ferry trip travels through the Islands off the coast of Vancouver Island and in itself is a very scenic and enjoyable experience. The bus will then do a quick tour of Victoria and drop us at a hotel where we can stay for a day or 2 and then return via the Victoria Clipper to Seattle. That would then require another night in Seattle for those wishing to take the train as it leaves at about 9:30 AM.
What we do is going to depend on if Don is teaching next year. If he is then we will take the tour in Vancouver and then either fly home or take the train from Seattle. I guess that would mean 1 night in Vancouver and then the bus to Seattle for the trip home. We lived in Seattle for 12 years but never made it north to Vancouver.

If we pass on Victoria the best plan would be for our bus to drop us at the train station and we could head back to Seattle the same day. If we stayed in Vancouver we would have a very early bus trip to Seattle to catch the train to California.
Reggie ... more than likely we will fly home early afternoon the day we get into Vancouver. So we will go from the terminal to the airport I'm sure.
We still have time.
Depending on your flight time you may be able to spend some time on the tour and then get to the airport.
You will be able to fly out of Seattle for less than Vancouver, you may also want to do the whole tour with us and then the train to Seattle for the night flying out in the morning or early afternoon.
Costs are going to have a major impact for us on this trip and available vacation time. Will know more specifics as we get closer. The main focus for us is the cruise.
