Just a post in here about Van. Island, I was blown away by the beauty of Tofino/Ucluelet/etc...really opened my eyes, I want to live there, hahahaha. Well I got married Aug 22nd in Washinton, great wedding.... then we headed to Ucluelet for 5 days for our honeymoon...rented a luxury cabin called "copper cabin" about 30 minutes out of Ucluelet city limits...made with 100+ year old logs. and lots of copper (roof, fixtures, sinks, doors, etc) ... simply incredible, bears and deer in our backyard and all over the place there.

Anyhow, it was a wicked trip, didn't have time to stop anywhere along the way but we did day trips to Tofino as well.... I'd never been that far on the island (with exception of Gabriola Island) anyhow, it was incredible..the beaches are so much larger and peaceful...did the usual tourist haunts, whale watching was great on a zodiak, our guide said he had never had so many sightings on one trip before..weather was perfect, barely a drop of rain, no fog. In Nanaimo there was some sort of honda meet I drove through, about 9 or 10 cars, mostly not riced up too bad either, we need club support like that out here. Nanaimo is not a bad town, a freind had told me it was a rough town and not that nice, it looked allright to me, a lot of nice bikes too....I even saw a pair of custom bikes that were made with hammered copper kinda like that jesse james one he made, stunning! Anyhow, I want to live on the island, lol.

Congrats Dom sounds like fun... sorry we couldn't attend, can't get anymore time off work
