Since the Winter games have ended, I’ve been considering travel holidays to Canada. Yes, now I’m British. I haven’t been to Toronto since a class trip in junior high. I thought I remembered it as a band vacation, but I just roomed with fellow band geeks. I got all the tourist destinations out of the way. Even if we were subjected to Bus Only upon reaching Niagara Falls because a few of us “heavens” were hanging out of our hotel room windows.
Damn, I bet it feels almost God-like to be a chaperone.
I remember a snowy-highways-closed road trip to Niagara upon turning 19 (you know, the drinking under 21 legality thing) with HSS. I’m certain we went there for sex without supervision too. And a little gambling.
But not on the birth control.
That leaves almost a decade of not traveling to our Neighbor of the North. And if I went again, I can’t remember. Shocker, Mel.
The idea that actually PARTYING in Toronto is a mere six hours away is ridiculous. Actual techno clubs. Dance music. Happy and equal gay people. OK, so maybe I want to try my luck at a real Canadian lesbian.
Vancouver (and British Columbia in general) reads like an amazing adventure-filled wonderland of camping/kayaking/something outdoorsy. I’m thinking a week of Oregon/Washington/BC could work with my new freelance availability. Boyfriend?
Hopefully it’s also gay-friendly on the West coast. I get confused between time zones.
And no, I am not interested in those sipid vampire-y tourist traps.

Got married on Salt Spring Island after falling in love with the hippie, laid back, anyone-is-welcome-vibe a year earlier. The Gulf Islands - off the coast of BC - and an easy ferry ride from Vancouver are all amazing. We’ve been back a few times in the last 10 years. Vancouver/BC is amazing. I highly reccomend a week or 2 exploring the city and areas around it. Flying in and out of Seattle makes it cheaper and also means you can explore that city and beautiful outdoor spaces, too! Hiking on Mt. Rainer in the summer is beautiful.

Thanks, kakaty! That’s exactly the kind of adventurous vacation I’m looking for.
