Western Canadian MNer meet-up - sign in here!

[Jacksmania]

Who's up for a meet-up in BC?
Or Alberta, depending on how many we get.

Sign in here with your location and your preferred meet-up spot!

I'm just east of Vancouver. Anywhere in the Lower Mainland or BC Interior would work for me.

We'll probably have to look at a date in the New Year, but let's start planning now. :)

Vancouver Island here. I will kill puppies to have an excuse to go to the mainland Ikea.

I come into Vancouver fairly often for work, so could probably work something in around that.

Kill puppies?? How bad could the Island be?? :o

But, if there's no IKEA... ok...

Well, we have a lot of puppies and no IKEA, in my defense.

Mrs TP - I am always intrigued by the Ikea shuttle from Vancouver Island! How do they fit all the sofas in on the way back?? We moved from Toronto last year and I was relieved to find not one, but two within striking distance.
Oh - and yes, would love a meet up! Vancouver or lower mainland would be good.

I've done it once. You carry what you can and the rest is shipped. At massive expense. All worth it.

DS finally sloped off to bed so time for Netflix and ... hope to meet you all soon!

We've got Dr Who. DD is asleep. All good here. Looking forward to putting faces to names.

Ok, so this month is out for me, as is December.
Shall we plan for January?

Can I pick peoples' brains please about BC?

Does anyone have information about how to get from Vancouver to midway? And also from hope to Vancouver?

I'd prefer to avoid Greyhound as Ill have a cycle with me and they can apparently be funny sometimes about taking a cycle.

Are there trains between these places? Thanks, am struggling to find much info out.

Vancouver to Midway Island?
Wow - no, but I have a travel agent friend I could ask. Will get back to you.

I'm fairly certain that the train passes through Hope, but will check on that, too.

Not midway island, it's just a town/village called midway a bit east of Hope. In the kettle valley. I'm wanting to cycle the kettle valley trail.

Thanks for checking Jacksmania, appreciate it.

Oh FFS I'm an idiot
Have just been reading WWII book. Hence jumping to Midway Island.

I've just been looking at the page you linked to - there is a Contact Us tab, with someone to email. I imagine they'd be able to tell you how to get there?

I've just googled Midway Island, no that's not where I want to be!

I've emailed the main email address and not had a reply. I'll try some of the individual persons email addresses next.

I've just emailed them for you, as well.

Well, Midway Island could be interesting. :o

Cycling between hope and midway island certainly would be. I'd need shark spray never mind bear spray!

However, cycling around Midway Island would be, as far as I can tell, a short trip :o

Is everyone good for January? I could do with something to look forward to after Christmas.

Me, too. As far as I can see we have no plans for any weekend in Jan.

Darn! :( The title of the thread pulled me in but I can see you guys are going to go for "West Coast" Canada, which is obviously fine but not gonna work for me at that time of the year. I'm definitely in if you decide to schedule something in Western Canada in the wider sense and/or not in mid-Winter. :)

If we find each other tolerable, we could arrange a further one in the summer for lazydog.
