I guess I don't think about loading time when I write my posts! Good that you pointed that out. Both Vancouver and Victoria have been on the bucket list, I would personally prefer the slower pace of Victoria as well but still want to see both, maybe on separate trips. I don't want to short change my tourist experience in each.

With your daughter living in Calgary now you will have plenty of opportunities to visit Banff and Kananaskis County. It's been pretty rainy here all summer, I'm not surprised of the forecast. Have fun on your upcoming adventure :)
