Is anyone going anywhere this weekend...
 
or is it too late ask and those who are, have already left?

We're not but we'll be packing and preparing for leaving Tuesday morning for Kamloops for an overnight stay then on to Long Beach (Tofino) Wednesday. :D:D:D

Whats happening with the water situation in Tofino then? Is it all sorted out now or will you just have to have a 'dirty' weekend ;)

We're going here ---> http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/mb/riding/index_e.asp

I want to see this "mountain" with my own eyes. I suspect it might be more of a hillock ;)

Apparently they are trucking in water from Ucluelet.

I think that we may have to have a dirty weekend though. :rolleyes:

May get a discount on the hotel, they're saying no fresh linens or towels daily and please use water wisely.

Like I can't live without clean linens daily. NOT.

Well you know what they say 'save water, bath with a friend' ;) Enjoy.

Are you kidding me? The last long weekend of the summer with all those bloody damn tourists coming to the island causing traffic jams and ferry delays! ;)

Not a chance.

Seeing as lack of vacation time seems to be one of the major complaints about coming to Canada. I was just wondering how many were taking advantage of the last long weekend of the summer.

Myself, I'm with Willmore I wouldn't go anywhere on a long weekend period, but then I have the luxury of not having to. :D

Cheers
Steve

Yes backyard springs to mind - oh we may get to the Southport air show if we are lucky enough that the rain stops. Not as exotic as some. Feel sorry for the saddo's in the UK.
