Honeymoon

Going to fly from Arizona to Portland then Amtrak it up to Vancouver B.C. towards the end of September.

Anyone able to list to me some good places to eat or visit in both cities? Will be in Portland for 2 days and vancouver for 3.

Haven't been to either location myself.

Can’t add to the conversation but do want to say I would LOVE to take a train trip like that. Very cool and congrats!

I haven't been to either of them but, it sounds like it will be a fun trip!

I can't recommend any specific spots in Vancouver ( I was there when I was 18...many many years ago) I can say that you will not be suffering from what to eat. They have it all. From what I remember it is very Asian, I remember walking through the airport and seeing English, French and some type of Asian language everywhere in the airport. (understandably as their close proximity to Asia)

I can't recommend a place either but the itinerary sounds like a great honeymoon trip!

Enjoy.

Sounds like a lot of fun enjoy yourselves, just dont get caught up in a Vancouver Shakedown once you get there. The train trip through the Pacific Northwest should be a good time.

Have fun.
