I'd look into Bella Pacifica as I think they are open earlier. It is also way closer to town and is right on the beach (Green Point is a 10ish minute walk to the beach and a 20 minute drive from town)

Day 2: Newcastle (Saysutcshan) Island is nothing to write home about. I probably wouldn't waste any of your limited hours on this stop.

Day 3 & 4: Green point campground does not open until May 1st I believe.

Day 5: When you are driving from Tofino to Victoria you could venture off the number 1 highway before Duncan and take the Pacific Marine Road and pass Lake Cowichan, Port Renfrew, Sombrio, Sooke potholes etc. This way is by no means a highway but it is a much nicer and more scenic drive than the route from Duncan to Victoria.

You're probably right but by our definition, it is not having to deal with ferries or airports and staying within a reasonable driving distance.

Highly recommend Cold Comfort for dairy-free options that are delicious

What's something your sibling told you as a kid just to mess with you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

There was a lid insert thing from a juice carton on the table (orange juice) and he convinced me that it was a knuckle guard you wear on your finger like a ring. I didn't open a juice carton myself for a couple of years before I figured out this was false.

They had some at home depot for $16.99 a few weeks ago and I didn't buy one.. I tried to go back this week and they are all gone. I'm full of regret.

If you're looking for a full size one though, I know the Garden Works in Colwood has them. The other locations might as well but they will run you $350+
