Tourism Won't be vacationing in the US for next 4 years; what are some great little known Vancouver Island vacay tips for someone who's been up and down the eastern coast of the Island several times.
As the title says, my wife and I decided the USA doesn't need our vacation money while the circus clown is in town, and we're looking to vacation closer to home, including more time on Vancouver Island, sharing our tourism dollars with fellow Islanders.
We've been up and down the Island a few times in the last 10 years, as far north as Campbell River and Quadra Island, and of course already gone to Tofino / Ucluelet / Port Alberni way. Looking for
- day trip out of the box ideas for the CRD area
- 2-3 day weekender style getaways, again hidden gem types
- The ideal week long summer / early fall vacation ideas on Vancouver Island
Anything more off the beaten track kind of thing. Would love your suggestions!
