    I just wanted to let you know that I had an incredible time out in Victoria! The two trips you set up for me were a blast, especially the Botanical Beach hike along the Juan de Fuca Trail. The rainforest is truly amazing. All and all it was a great time and I think I may find myself making a home there in the next few years.

    Thanks for your help in arranging my vacation to Vancouver Island. It was GREAT! The kayaking outfitter was very professional, their food was really good, the equipment excellent and their guide fantastic. I even enjoyed Victoria's city centre on a rented bicycle. Your hotel arrangements were good. I would really consider going back to Pacific Rim National Park again and maybe taking a friend with me. I will be checking your website all winter long as I remember a good trip.

    The Yukon canoe trip was great. The only problem was that it ended too soon. I look forward to doing another trip with you next year.
