....as the tired old cliche goes.

Screw proximity to employment, real estate prices or any of those other tedious practicalities. Where in Canada would we all be living right now if we could?

I realize Edmonton will be at the top of most people's list :rolleyes:, but are there any other lesser known little Edens out there that we should all be told about.

I'd like one of those wineries in overlooking Penticton, BC. I wonder how long it would take to drink the entire estate.

Totally impractical for us but ... Tofino, on west coast of Vancouver Island. Can't get it out of my head. Incredible, and the drive across VI - breathtaking.

I have to agree with that drive. Spent a wonderful weekend in Tofino sitting on this deck right at the end of the main street.

One of the islands between Vancouver Island and the mainland such as Quadra, Cortes or Texada. I'd need a boat or two, one for sailing and one for getting to the mainland/Vancouver Island quickly. I could cope with that.

Id be right where I am, only in a nicer house, with waterfront and more garage space. I guess we have settled here and have roots now.

Of course, I may have a couple of holiday homes in an ideal world too...

Pretty much where I'm living now....only out of town a little with a few acres around me, and keep a view of those 'purty mountains'.

Summer home? Somewhere on the water - Tofino looks stunning, that'll do me! :thumbup:

Exactly where I am right now (a tiny rural hamlet in the BC Rockies - nr. Mt.Robson - my avatar pic is Kinney Lake - 5 mins from here) but out here, your "Screw proximity to employment" statement certainly applies!
