Eric and Dee Dee's Trip to British Columbia

I have always thought of a trip to British Columbia, Canada as one of those trips that “empty nesters” take while their kids are away at school or have moved out completely. I have this demographic stuck in my head for my parents took a trip to BC my junior year while I as at UCLA.

I got over my “aged” stereotype and took a 6 day trip with my wife, Dee Dee, as our last DINK adventure before our baby is born. I was pleasantly surprised by Tofino and Victoria and highly recommend a trip up to visit our North American brethren,

Getting to Canada is very easy for us Americans…but remember to bring your passport for this trip…for you are leaving the US! Duh. This may seem obvious, but apparently passports were not always required when travel was more “casual.” We flew out of SFO on a United flight direct to Victoria and were there in 2.5 hours. Keep in mind that Canada flights depart from the domestic terminal…not the international terminal. This is really strange…so make sure your drop off driver looks for the Canada signs on the way into the airport.

Our short adventure began on Wednesday, July 2 and we got back on Monday, July 7 with the first 3 days in Tofino and 2 days in Victoria.
