Thanks for the suggestions. Think it's plan B now as we're thinking that 3 days at Whistler mightn't be too long if we take a day and explore Pemberton / Lillooet area. We may detour for a bit once we get off the ferry at Horseshoe and do a drive-about though. I was drooling over the Salmon House menu -- what a view. I guess it we'll see which ferry we are able to catch/miss? depending on the traffic coming across from Ucluelet.

Thanks again, Anne in Burlington, ON
