BC is God's country Archived Message Posted by Sounder on April 23, 2025, 11:42:49, in reply to "I’ve been thinking about this more and would push harder for British Columbia." Tofino is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Previous Message Vancouver is a great city, could spend a couple days there. Take the ferry to Victoria. Drive up to Whistler, tons of places to kayak, white water raft, hike and bike. Whistler has the best ski town I’ve been to, loads of shops and restaurants. And again, with Canadians cutting travel to America, my guess is this is the cheapest you’ll ever find flights there. Previous Message Having trouble coming up with a vacation idea on where to go this summer. Leaning toward the Caribbean but as a rule we are not a family that likes to just sit on the beach. Sure a day or two is nice but if I am going somewhere I want to explore a bit and have something to do. Done Puerto Rico already otherwise that would probably be the likeliest choice and may just decide to go again. But looking for thoughts of Caribbean islands that have a lot to do other than go to whatever beach. Or any other out of the box thinking would also be welcome.
