Vancouver VT Mtg - Just 6 Weeks Left ...

August 11 - 13, I'm organizing a Virtual Tourist "meeting" in Vancouver. You can read more about it here. In case you're not familiar with Virtual Tourist (VT for short), it's a travel site where 100% of the content is provided by members like me. So rather than getting the overly positive marketing spin on every hotel, restaurant, and destination, instead you get honest opinions from a variety of people around the world. The online forums are superb. Post a question about even the most esoteric thing and you'll usually get half a dozen answers within a few hours.

Once in a while, given members in a particular community host a "VT Meeting". This typically consists of dinner on a Friday, breakfast, a walking tour, lunch, and dinner on the Saturday, and a parting breakfast and optional second tour on the Sunday. I've attended such events in Los Angeles and Toronto and smaller ones in Chicago. They're great fun!

With Vancouver being so beautiful this summer, I thought it long over due to host a Vancouver get together. If you'd like to attend, just sign up for free at Virtual Tourist and join in the fun!
