Details

Trip details are shared via email and may differ from the details in this meetup event.

Everyone, as I got into detailed planning, I learned that a lot of World Cup soccer games are scheduled for when we had planned to go. This makes Vancouver lodging hard to find and very expensive. So I have to change the dates.
Please update your rsvp accordingly. Please confirm via text at 216-973-3851 if you plan to attend at the new dates by Feb 1st.
***
Good news! I am expanding the number of attendees from 8 to 12, so waitlists folks, you are in!
Everyone, please read through the updated plan.
IF YOU READ THE PLAN AND DECIDE NOT TO GO, PLEASE UPDATE YOUR RSVP.

You will see as you read through, that I need commitment on who is going as I spend time finding lodging in Vancouver and Victoria.
Please text your cell # to me and tell me you are planning to go on the trip, and whether you want a room to yourself or want to share. AirBnb costs get split by room.
(new plan 1/15)

  • 7/31-8/3 fly to Vancouver; sightsee & hike;spend two nights in Airbnb’s or a hostel
  • 8/3-8/7 camp in Whistler, the land of a million hikes. Camping reservation is made for 12 people, 12 tents, cost is $90 per person for the five nights; requesting $45 deposit to confirm your place by Feb 1 (I've paid half already for the group)
  • 8/7-8/9 sightsee and hike in Victoria, (quaint town and coastal hikes); spend two nights in AirBnbs.
  • 8/9 fly home

There is no backpacking on this trip. BUT if someone wants to put a backcountry trip together within this trip, you are welcome to. If interested in backpacking, please text me at (216) 973-3851 and let me know what you are thinking. I am NOT planning to backpack myself, but please coordinate backpacking plans with me. Backcountry sites are not available until 3 months before the date.

Also, if you do not plan to stay with the group in Vancouver and Victoria, please let me know. I want to book lodging in Vancouver and Victoria within the next couple of weeks.

If you want to be part of the AirBnb or whatever lodging arrangements in Vancouver and Victoria, remember to text me at 216-973-3851 and let me know if you want in on the plans, and whether you want a room of your own or to share. I'll form a text group of those lodging together and share options from which we can collectively choose.

Bottom line is - anyone I don't hear from via text by Feb 1, will be moved to the not going list.

Meantime, look at Whistler on AllTrails - wowie this is gonna be a great trip!
