Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

It's official: It's Vancouver!

Not as bad as Seattle, but yes, it's a little damp.

I will admit, it's an odd location for tourism. Not that there's nothing, but it'll be quite the transition from San Diego and Hawaii.
 
For all the United States citizens traveling abroad to Canada.....You need to know the facts...

Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative

http://www.getyouhome.gov/html/eng_map.html

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) requires U.S. and Canadian travelers to present a passport or other document that denotes identity and citizenship when entering the U.S. It is a result of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA).

The goal of WHTI is to facilitate entry for U.S. citizens and legitimate foreign visitors, while strengthening U.S. border security. Standard documents will enable the Department of Homeland Security to quickly and reliably identify a traveler.

WHTI went into effect June 1, 2009 for land and sea travel into the U.S. WHTI document requirements for air travel went into effect in 2007.

Wonder what the Worlds promo will look like. Not exactly tropical so it'll have to be drastically different.
 
Would your League like a rematch against Undevelop? :) I still have it built.

In all seriousness, though, I am really looking forward to seeing you guys there if you do make it up. It'll be nice to see everyone again.

Refresh my memory, undevelop?
 
That's because it's a reasonable assumption. I mean, come on. Vancouver, WA hardly even exists.

No hard feelings to people who live there.
 
would like an actual place now to go with the city. Looking at the map of Hiltons in Vancouver, neither seem likely to be the host hotel due to location
 
Now the question is where in Vancouver.

The two Hiltons aren't exactly in attractive locations, IMO.

I'm sure it will be at the Metrotown if the Hilton tradition holds true. Seems more to do in the immediate area and Sky Train is nearby to take you to other destinations.
 
I think it'll be at the Marriott Pinnacle. It seems like a nice hotel and it's in the downtown area. I'm gonna try and make plans to go next year.
 
yeeeeeees!finally a new location with a reasonable ticket price.
wouldn't it be cool if a player with no OP in his own country won worlds next year? >-< :lol::lol:
