Subject: [pbs] Vancouver Island visit Hi All I will be staying with friends on Vancouver Island for the second half of April this year, half way up the east coast. Can any list members recommend places I should not miss, that are suitable for a days drive in the way of plants, wildlife or scenery, in that order, that my non plant addict hosts may not be aware of. If I extended my trip any recommendations for a weeks car rental trip starting from maybe Vancouver city, at this time of year, i.e. the last week of April or first in May. I have not booked my return flight yet so some flexibility. I have cross posted this message. Please reply off list, unless your reply is of general interest to all.
