Vancouver is North America which means each traveller is allowed TWO bags at 23kg each, and THREE at 32kg each in Business

Many's the time I've gone into Robinson Street and bought an extra bag or two to get the goodies home. It's either that or toss the older clothes.

Unfortunately sailing up through Asia and then across to Alaska mean't packing for different environments & I was'nt into buying more clothes.

We mailed excess packages from Seward in Alaska and from Vancouver where not only was it expensive but the posties were about to take industrial action.

As much as I admired a lot of the woodworking gear in the store there was nothing that i need that cannot wait until next year,but I will definately be travelling lighter then.

Cheers

But John, there were two of you
you flew into Asia = 1 bag each
you flew home from Vancouver = 2 bags each -- I'm counting 46kg of tools if the missus will let you get away with it !
(on one of our trips I put a LV flattening plate in the bag, on another a LA Jointer)

Ian, we had two bags each as well as backpacks(I was lugging my camera gear as well) my wife's bags had as much stuffed into them as did mine.

As said I looked & liked but did'nt see the urgency or need to add to a already weighty issue.

What I intend to do is window shop with the benefit of the internet and decide if when in Ottawa/Toronto next year I then need to further enhance my already expansive collection of tooling.

Thank you for the heads up on the directions it was easy to find, the skytrain is a remarkable piece of engineering something some of our communities could possibly look at.

Cheers
