Hi there,
Newbie Mudcatter here.

I just had to pop in and 2nd the invitation to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When you go to Vancouver Island, catch the ferry there from Port Angeles, Washington and spend some time in the Olympic National Park.

And, by all means, go the the Vancouver Folk Festival July 16-18. They haven't announced the performers yet, but it's always a fabulous line-up.

I am envious of your exciting adventure. Many happy travels to you!
