The Desert Museum in Tucson Arizona is very worthwhile to visit. They have acres of displays both above ground and underground.
You will never think of the desert as being boring again!

Here are some of my many favourite places to explore in North Vancouver.
The Trans-Canada Highway goes through it and the SeaBus ferry and many bus options make North Vancouver easy to get to.
Enjoy!
Lynn Canyon
If you do nothing more than walk across the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge and come back, the trip is worthwhile.
There are many short walks you can do including:
- Across the Suspension Bridge, South to Twin Falls, then back to the Suspension Bridge. Great if you only have an hour.
- Across the Suspension Bridge and North to 30 Foot Pool and back. You can see locals jump from the cliffs on warm days.
- Across the Suspension Bridge and North to Rice Lake and Lynn Headwaters.
Stick to the trails and read the precautions for visitors at the entrance to the park.
Lonsdale Quay and Lower Lonsdale
The SeaBus from Vancouver goes to Lonsdale Quay.
The Lonsdale Quay Market has a great range of shops and food markets.
Grouse Mountain
Vancouver is one of those rare places where it is possible to walk or cycle, go sailing, and go skiing all in the same day in the winter months.
Grouse Mountain also offers spectacular views, hiking trails, restaurants, bars, and a Grizzly Bear Habitat most of the year.
You can even try the infamous Grouse Grind and reward yourself with a beer at the top!
Seymour Mountain also provides skiing and summer adventures.
Capilano Suspension Bridge
Being from Lynn Valley, I have bias toward Lynn Canyon. That said, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is also stunning there are many superb attractions in the park including a tree walk, canyon lookout, native art, historical displays, and more.
The Capilano River is an important river for salmon.
There are paths at the mouth of the river where it flows into Burrard Inlet and you can also visit Cleveland Dam upstream.
Grand Boulevard
Grand Boulevard is a park that runs around 10 blocks in central North Vancouver with walking paths, cycle paths, trees, and flower plantings.
There is a fun coffee bar, bagels, The British Butcher and more at the south end.
Deep Cove
At the Eastern end of the Dollarton Highway (not really a highway) in North Vancouver sits scenic Deep Cove.
Attractions include:
- Beautify shoreline.
- Kayak and canoe rentals to explore Indian Arm by water.
- Shops and restaurants, including world-famous Honey’s Donuts and Goodies!
More Awaits
There are many more places to explore in North Vancouver.

One of your first impressions of Vancouver, British Columbia, will be that there is water everywhere. Burrard Inlet to the North, the Fraser River to the South, and False Creek in the middle.
Seawall with paths for bicycles and pedestrians follow the entire waterfront around False Creek.
Two companies operate cute tiny ferries to take people between eight locations around False Creek. Each stop has its own charm.
We bought a day pass and shot photos and video of all eight stops served by AquaBus ferries. Here are the highlights.
Granville Island
Granville Island was an industrial area important during World War II. Today you can get fresh produce, seafood, unique arts and crafts and much more in the Granville Island Market.
Restaurants, Granville Island Brewery, theatres, art galleries, funky shops, and an art school for kids provide a lot to see.
Stamps Landing
The next stop on our tour is Stamps Landing just West of the Cambie Street Bridge.
In June 1867, Edward Stamp build Vancouver’s first industrial operation, Stamp’s Sawmill.
Today the area features apartments with a fabulous view of the water and boats, Mahoney & Sons Irish Bar and Grill, The Wicklow Public House, and the charming Branas Mediterranean Grill. Eat, drink, and be merry!
Orca Whales
Orca whales are a rare sight in False Creek. We caught 4 on camera just West of Stamps Landing.

Travel Tips

Sometimes we make things harder for ourselves than they need to be. I know I do.
We think that network marketing is hard. You need to learn complicated sales strategies. Learn sales tricks. Abuse your friends and family with sales pitches.
It does not have to be that way.
The most successful people in our organization make sales by simply making a connection, listening, and offer solutions.
They see it as a great way to reach out to friends and family they have not talked to in ages or a way to connect with new friends and business connections.
Here are some opening lines delivered sincerely:
- Hi (name). It is been a long time. How are you doing in these interesting times?
- What is going on with you?
- How is (family member, friend, etc.)?
Simply have a conversation. If there is something that you believe you can help with, introduce the experience you have had and how that could relate to them.
Some of our most successful team members will lead with a story:
- You won’t believe what happened to me …
- I was suffering with X, now I feel much better …
- (Name) had a similar challenge to you. He tried the product and has tremendous results.
Personal testimonials and stories work best.
And sometimes the discussion with people turns to the product naturally.
We were talking with a friend. It turns out she had some stress in her life, was worried about her cancer returning, and wanted better skin so she could feel more confident dating again.
At one point she noticed a patch on my neck?
‘What’s that bandaidy thingy on your neck?’
When I explained about the patches and the results many have experienced she said,
‘I want that! I’m in!’
Simple conversations and sincere connections.
You can do it and have a lot of fun on the journey.

Network Marketing can provide a sense of community similar to that provided by churches, service clubs, and other organizations where people of similar interests get together.
Multi-Level Marketing organizations often create a community atmosphere.
Before COVID-19, house presentations and conferences provided great opportunities to connect with people with similar interestests.
Conferences at nice hotels provide opportunities for people to travel and experience luxury and glamour. Exciting stuff.
Today, with many communities locked down, the connections are provided through phone calls and online meetings. Zoom stocks have soared.
The nature of Network Marketing, or Relationship Marketing, is that it is a good excuse to reach out to people you may have not talked to for decades.
Bonnie has connected with a woman she once babysat over forty years ago.
Embrace your community.
Embrace your tribe.
Be sincerely interested in all the people you meet and you will enjoy a rich life.
And some of the people you reach out to you will join your team.
