Our third annual ski trip to British Columbia last month has brought about the inevitable...Sara demands to see the area in the summer! And so we shall.

However, due to her limitations on vacation time we may only be able to eke out a five day trip. With such a limited amount of time is it possible to see both Vancouver and Victoria? And do them justice? Should we do 2 days in Vancouver and 3 in Victoria? Or vice versa? Which ferry is preferable? Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo or the other?

Hotel, B& B, and restaurant recommendations would be gladly accepted. How about concert venues? Anybody been to one in either town? All help regarding a visit to the area would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks, John in San Diego
