I bet there will be people on your trip who are doing a bigger trip like you, there is bound to be the token aussie bunch who will def want to head up to surfland, every trip I plan allways goes to pot in the first week:zzz: Its a scots thing, you no, you start talking, you meet some people, you drink some beer and then before you no it your way off course and havin a ball.................I say tearn the life out of it and just go for it:thumbsup: ah to be 21 again :fingerscrossed:

Its an island thing - plans are but a frame work for what actually happens in life :cool: If the OP actually does everything she plans then she will have missed out on one of the biggest things to do on the island - chilllllllllllllll and let life happen.........

I don't do sitting on my backside, I want to be 'go, go, go!' and see as much as I can while I'm still young enough and responsibility free enough to do it! :D I'd love to spend all Summer tootling around with my backpack but unfortunately I can't kennel the dog indefinitely so I'm determined to make the most of my time out there. I'm sure there will be a 3am lull at some point on the trip where I can take stock.. :thumbup:

Oi, I resent that! :rofl: It's true unfortunately, 'twas blowing a gale today.. Sunny in the evening though, chilled out at the park with the pooch.

I'd LOVE to not come back, but the teeny bit of me that says 'that's a ridiculous idea' is what makes me think deep down I am responsible enough to be a pharmacist :D

:rolleyes:if you get stuck in the nanaimo area drop me a PM and I will see what we can do to sort you out and get you going again - would offer a piece of floor to sleep on but as this is our first summer back we have a rota of friends and family coming over :eek: we have run out of room and we are gently suggesting to some that a small trip at certain specific times might be a good way to get the most out of their trip here :blink:

What is it they say.. it's the thought that counts? :p Nah seriously, the offer of help is appreciated - I've my fingers crossed that it won't come to that but a back up plan is always useful if everything goes belly up.

Clearly you've been doing far too good a job at selling the Island if everyone's coming over for their Summer holidays :D
