Bee said...

Great List!! I have done almost all those things - well most of them if you consider whale watching at The Vancouver Aquarium.

And the flying ones, haven't traveled around much but your flying somewhere in February sounds so very, very tempting!

BC is so beautiful. I really wish there were still an army base out there so we could be posted to BC (hubby's an army officer) but sadly they closed CFB Chilliwack back in the early 90s. When he retires, though, I would love to move to BC.

We hope to do #12 on your list someday.

Happy T13. :)

I like #13, but I'm willing to fly into Vancouver for the month of Feb.
We also want to do the cruise sometime

Charlotte said...

Great list!

Kai said...

Nice list Heather! I'm all for #13!! (We have another 4 inches of new snow this morning!)

SPRING! I need Spring!

Caylynn - not sure if you'll see this but CFB Chilliwack IS still open - just a more limited capacity. (They share the base with the RCMP - RCMP bought part of it or something) My husband has a buddy in the army (Edm) and he is working on getting back to BC. So tell your hubby to look into it!

I want to get into Canada and do some traveling there.

Maybe I'll go skiing while I'm there!

Happy T13

Blessings,

Rose said...

Christine said...

Skiing would be #1 on my list. One of these days I'd love to take an Alaskan cruise. Thanks for sharing all these great things about B.C.

Happy TT!

Sparky Duck said...

great, I have always wanted to go to Vancouver, it looks like the last big city in the Northwest I havent visited and now I want to go more.

Peg said...

Oh, I so want to go there! :D

Great List!

I love Vancouver's Chinatown. We used to eat there as a special treat when we made the drive up from Seattle when I was a kid. When I became an adult I'd both eat and shop.
What about Stanley Park?
The Ferry to Victoria?
And I lived in the northwest for 12 years and visit often and I've never gone whale watching. Maybe this summer.

Susan said...

You sold me!!! the real clincher is whether we all get to stay at your house in order to do all the fun BC stuff!!!!!!????? my sleeping bag doesn't take up much room and I don't snore... :) great TT!

she said...
