Hello all, Carole and I will join you for the friday drive up, but have to be back later that night.
As a route suggestion, horseshoe bay is picturesque but small with limited parking and bathroom options, and no gas station. A few miles before the horseshoe bay exit is a chevron gas station (exit 7, with 94 octane, 100 yards off the highway) and just after that at exit 6 is Caulfield shopping center, a small center but it has much more parking, starbucks, subway, safeway grocery store, so lots of food and pee break options. If you take the suggested highway option you will be there in about 1 hour after crossing the border, downtown route will add 15-30 minutes.
Note the highway option crosses the port mann bridge which is a toll bridge, $3.00, that can be paid online within 30 days
