From there, I&#8217;m really undecided as to whether I&#8217;ll take the Cassiar like I did in the fall, or the Alaska highway like I did last spring. I&#8217;m leaning towards doing the Alaska highway again and then doing the Cassiar in the fall.

I didn&#8217;t see much on Vancouver Island, but other things that happened more than made up for that. I mean, I was in the right place at the right time to give my business the boost it really needed to take off. Financially, I won&#8217;t see the results of that until May, but that&#8217;s perfect since that&#8217;s the month I&#8217;ll be putting in the fewest working hours. It seems that I will simply need to return to Vancouver Island and the BC coast at some later date to do more &#8216;island hopping. As it is, I do plan to go to Victoria for a long weekend in late March or early April, so there is more tourism to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t believe that it&#8217;s already time to start planning my trip back north!
