That's what I thought. If she wants a change of scenery I'd of thought a weekend at The Four Seasons would be okay. At least there's a decent bar downstairs.

Fully aware of tippy whale watching boats as we used the 1998 one as a case study for part of a Transport Canada boating course.

That would necessitate an unwanted move as my condo is too small to accommodate little piglets running around the place.

I did like it. Stayed in excellent accommodation, but it's not on my list of places to revisit.

If I had to visit any other bits, it would be St. John's in the summer.

Vancouver hotels are expensive this year - the boss (no, the one at work, not 'er indoors) was complaining when he was in town last week - and he's not even paying for the hotel himself...

I can imagine Tofino would be similarly gouging, although it is Valentine's and Storm watching season too I guess.

I like Tofino and Ucluelet - have been a couple of times. Probably nicer when we went last July than it is now however...

We've stayed at Water's Edge in Ucluelet, which was nice. It's not one of the more expensive locations, but it's more Apartments than Hotel.

Water's Edge Shoreside Suites - Ucluelet Accommodation

You can have a bath on the deck and everything....
