Matt and I are planning on a week long trip leaving the Bay Area and heading north on 5 for Vancouver, BC. on Sept. 17. We plan on making it to Vancouver in one day to catch the early evening ferry to Vancouver Island. (Mapquest says it's only a 13 hour drive to Seattle) We'll spend at least two full days on Vancouver Island before making our way to Victoria and taking a ferry to Port Angeles. From there we will make our way home via the coast highway ending up back in San Jose hopefully by the 25th. We'd love to have fellow travelers join us, that's why I'm posting this now. A birth certificate and photo ID or just a passport are required to enter Canada. Your vehicle insurance company will issue you a non-resident liability card for you if you ask. Photography is the main purpose, of course we'll look for wheeling oppurtunities but not go out of our way to find one.

Dude, that sounds awesome. Wish I could make it. Have fun, and remember to post pictures!!

we'll just miss you guys. we're heading up to vancouver on the 24th.

the coastal drive thru WA & OR is beautiful. we took a road trip to seattle back in college.

have fun - hope you can find some folks to go along for the trip.

I drove to Vancouver 3 times in the last 10 years and it took about 15 hrs. Vancouver Island is nice but Vancouver itself is kinda boring, nice and clean but boring . I guess because it rained sooo freaking much there every time I visited ...
I still couldn't believe how "green" Washington State is. Not a patch of brown grass anywhere. :p

Have a great trip.
