It's a chilly, rainy week so I've enjoyed both Mink's and Murchie's for hot beverages! That they're so close to the convention center is huge bonus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-in-october#post-1727827 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 04:41:21 +0000 Aziraphale 1727827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nah, you won't need scarves or a puffer or anything. Just a mid-weight jacket or coat. DO pack an umbrella, or else a raincoat, because when it rains here it tends to just drizzle all day long, which can make you unpleasantly damp if you're out walking a lot. It also rarely gets windy, so umbrellas don't get turned inside-out.&nbsp;</p> <p>Having said that, it might not rain at all. It can be sunny and gorgeous all October. You just never know. :-)</p> <p>As far as shopping, Pacific Centre (which includes Holt Renfrew) is within walking distance of Gastown (which is itself quite cute, or at least alternates between gross drug-needle-strewn areas and upscale shops for hipsters). Granville Island is arty and fun, and a good place to browse and get lunch. You could take one of those tiny Aquabus boats across False Creek to get there! And yes, Stanley Park is gorgeous, and &nbsp;a walk around its seawall is splendid in good weather.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-in-october#post-1727260 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 22:02:58 +0000 Dee 1727260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect, thanks! I don't usually pack one so I will put it on the list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-in-october#post-1727235 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 20:38:40 +0000 Charley 1727235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, an umbrella (or a good rain jacket with a hood) is a necessity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-in-october#post-1727207 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 19:28:06 +0000 Dee 1727207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, thanks Anna. I love dark chocolate so that is definitely on the list.</p> <p>Charley, thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like I'll have to bring a wide range of outerwear or at least layers. And maybe an umbrella? Sadly I won't be there until after the 10th. The night market sounds awesome though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-in-october#post-1727107 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 14:33:51 +0000 Charley 1727107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like tea, Murchie's (<a href="https://www.murchies.com/store/locations" rel="nofollow">https://www.murchies.com/store/locations</a>) is great.&nbsp; The West Hastings location is in GasTown and it's a gorgeous area to walk around - the sea wall is lovely. </p> <p>Stanley Park is great if you like walking / biking, and the Aquarium (located in the Park) is neat.&nbsp; Granville Island also has interesting markets and restaurants.</p> <p>Plan for rainy, windy weather - it will be relatively temperate (anywhere from 10 - 20 degrees Celsius), but possibly damp. Layers and scarves will be your friend.</p> <p>If you are there before October 10th (and over a weekend), you can also check out the Richmond Night Market (<a href="http://richmondnightmarket.com/faq/" rel="nofollow">http://richmondnightmarket.com/faq/</a>).&nbsp; It's accessible via the SkyTrain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-in-october#post-1727073 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 13:47:21 +0000 Anonymous 1727073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-in-october#post-1726825 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 21:28:51 +0000 annagybe 1726825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.minkchocolates.com/">https://www.minkchocolates.com/</a><br />Dark drinking chocolate, and then take some bars home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-in-october#post-1726776 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 19:17:09 +0000 Dee 1726776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi fabbers!</p> <p>I'll be traveling to Vancouver next month for a conference. I know it tends to be a bit more temperate than other parts of Canada, but can anyone give me any more detailed info about the weather? Do I need to pack scarves, heavier coats, or will I be okay in just a mid-level jacket? I have only been there once and it was in the middle of the summer.</p> <p>Also, do you have any can't miss suggestions for sightseeing and or local shopping? I'll be staying near Gastown but won't have a car. I did go whale-watching when I was there a few years ago.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom! </p>
