Also, sorry if this is probably too much detail at this point, thanks to the Olympic legacy (<cough>taxpayers</cough>) Vancouver now has direct light rail service (SkyTrain) from the airport to downtown for $3.75 (peak) / $2.50 (evenings + weekends). Either way, better than paying $35 for a cab from the airport to downtown. Mark
