Vancouver Harbor as viewed from Sapphire Princess Cruise ship on the afternoon about 5 PM of
August 8, 2009 as the cruise ship was leaving its docking station, the Canada Place, in Vancouver
Harbor to start our one-week Alaska Cruise.

We arrived at Vancouver Airport at about 2 PM of August 7 to prepare for our one-week Alaska cruise.
The boarding of Sapphire Princess Cruise ship started at 12 Noon of August 8. So, we had two half
days to tour the beautiful Vancouver. We got a rental car at Vancouver Airport and toured Stanley
Park, Queen Elizabeth Park including Bloedel Floral Conservatory, VanDusen Botanical Garden and
Grouse Mountain in Vancouver.
