Hi there,
My wife and myself are going to Vancouver in a couple of weeks, a very unexpected trip and a little spur of
the moment. [family reunion event]
Unfortunately this won’t be a biking trip this time, but I really could do with a bit of advice from you guys
on here regarding getting to Vancouver and then onto Kamloops.
The costs on-line seem to vary massively with the cheap prices advertised not actually being the real price
you pay. Any pointers on where to start or who to book with?
We live near Birmingham airport but flights from there seem to go via Amsterdam and some go to Toronto
then onto Vancouver, is this the pain it seems or is it relatively simple?
Or should I drive down to Heathrow and take a direct flight to Vancouver?
Then more importantly we need to get to Kamloops, what’s the best option? Car hire, train, internal flights
or coach? What’s the drive like? and I imagine there will be snow about maybe?
I haven’t been to Canada before and haven’t driven abroad for a few years so what do you suggest?
Also any recommendations on where to stay in Vancouver/Victoria and what to visit?
My email address is in my profile.
Thanks in advance,
Matt.
Ps any good bike shops to visit? and anybody want anything fetching back?
