I believe the CN means Canada, Vancover BC, if so we really enjoyed visiting the Vancouver Aquarium , but it was in '86. Should be ever better now.

We checked GasTown out in '97, an ok place, lot of tourist shops, multi-national flavor, enjoyed the steam clock.

Also visted an Art Museum & a water front park, near the Aquarium, over looking the bay. We also did a drive up and along the sound to Squamish which is a very lovely drive, along the way we visited Shannon Falls.

In 1986, we stayed several days in a small private campground (long gone it seems, now part of a neat golf course) by the sound on the way to Squamish, just before getting to Shannon Falls. We also went to Vancouver Island/Victoria, both are neat. Enjoyed Bouchard Gardens & a neat museum in Victoria. I can not remember the name of it now. Attractions We did a day trip, leaving the trailer at Birch Bay State Park in Washington and drove back into Canada to take a ferry. A neat trip.

CT would be Connecticut.

Huh, I've lived here all my life and have never heard of Canada referred to as CN. If that's what you mean, I wouldn't bother with the Aquarium because almost every city has one.

Go see what most other cities don't have. I would do Grouse Mountain which will take about a half day. Gastown and Chinatown should take about a half day as well.

If you are not in to the nature scene on the mountain, then perhaps shopping on Robson Street is more your style.

Are you sure he means Canada? CN is also a rail road. Lol.
