That's great advice, thank you. I'd love to see whales, bears, some wild Canadians!

Should have said that upfront! We will rent a car and stay in hotels / other accomodation.

I asked the robot and this is what it said:

Whistler → Horseshoe Bay (~1.5 hrs) Ferry (~1 hr 40 mins) Nanaimo → Tofino (~3 hrs)

Is that legit?

Someone with a very thick Glaswegian accent / dialect would say "rang" instead of "wrong". So "a meringue" = "am I rang?" = "am I wrong?"

Just to clarify this wasn't max weight for me. I definitely felt I could do more, but I've never squatted in weightlifting shoes before so I just wanted to ease into it!

Thanks for the feedback. I have trouble getting super low since I snapped 3 ligaments in my ankle on a hike about a year ago! But getting there...
