      TJ is such a good dude. I haven't been to his new location yet, but next time i'm over in Vancouver I'm planning too. We live in Van not too far from his old shop, but moved to Victoria 9 years ago.

        @mr_showclass The new shop looks nice, although the location in general is borderline…

          @Dmart haha, yeah. I worked in the Downtown Eastside for many years when I live in Vancouver, and lived just outside of it. It's a hard one for sure, lot's of issues.

            If you’re spending any time in Vancouver, take a float plane up to Tofino and spend a night at the tip of the island in the Old Growth forest. If you love nature and the outdoors, this is like a spiritual awakening.

              We are avoiding the US at the moment, and will spend 3 weeks in BC and Alberta this summer. Early stages of planning, but we might visit old friends in Victoria, and then heading inland. Not sure yet how much of Vancouver island we will try to see. We have been there once, but only Victoria itself. Before that my last trip to Canada was around 1990 and involved a lot of hitchhiking and outdoor stuff.. now I am dragging two teenage daughters along. Will hit the local experts with some questions sometime in the next weeks when the planning gets more detailed.

                  @tody said in Vancouver, BC (CA):

                  Inside Passage

                  Thanks! Inside passage as in: somhow partly explore in a boat/cruise? or driving along on-shore?

                      @Tobi I’m about 2 hours north of Victoria. If you have any questions about Vancouver Island or want to meet up, drop me a line and we can try to make something work.

                        Also, to entertain the teenage girls: The first Rambo movie was filmed in Hope. You need to visit the Stallone statue!

                          @Denman-John thanks for the super friendly offer! If we head this way we will visit our friends in Victoria, and they will be our local guides! Might still take you up on the offer and drop you a question or two at some stage.. Thanks!

                            @tody have you interacted with any teenage girls in the last two decades? 🙂 Rambo/Stallone is seriously in uncool old-guy territory!

                                    @Tobi Let me know if I can be of any help with arranging accommodation, trips and alike as I have a travel agency and maybe can get some good deals. I will obviously not charge you or anything...
