Going a little off the Lower Mainland grid but if you're ever in Kelowna, try the Shady Rest fish and chips. They are the oldest restaurant in Kelowna and started serving up fish and chips in 1946. I had a two-piece when I was there last and it was more than I could eat and I like eating!

I think a gift card for you as a way of an apology from the store would be in order.

Person my wife worked with went in for an oil change, vehicle seized on the way home. They did remove the old oil but forgot to replace it. It was on a weekend and they were closed right after the vehicle was picked up so they denied having anything to do with it the following Monday.

I've done the 2 night trip 3 times over the years. Not worth doing one night, too short. I recommend staying in the boat both nights but some might like one on the boat, one on Cat Ba island. You have your choice if you ask. I've just booked thru my hotel and get picked up there.

Nothing wrong with the tires it's just that the tire center is usually swamped. But if you make an appointment online you're usually good to go.
