Just took a trip to Vancouver Island.

I had only been to the Victoria portion before, but never ventured beyond that. This summer, I decided to do so.

Unfortunately, I got pounded with the unexpected Pacific Northwest heat wave, which sent temps as high as 100 on parts of my trip. If I wanted that weather, I could have stayed in Vegas!

I went to the following places:

Victoria (biggest city on island)
Port Renfrew (small west coastal town which isn't visited much by tourists)
Nanaimo (2nd biggest city on island)
Strathcona Provincial Park (inland, lots of lakes & mountains surrounding)
Tofino (another small west coast town, but popular with Canadian tourists)

Was gone 9 days. Flying BACK right now.
