Yeah I always thought the hiker in me would make me leave NYC area but besides fit a new years it never happened. I live on an island of 3000 but we have a bridge we just had a movie about our island called city island with Andy Garcia good movie but it's not about me heheOne good thing livin' in NYC Aktivator is that there is so many shows. Here where I am on a Island and a city with a pop. of 350,000 we don't get too many good shows. Vancouver has alot but to go over there with the cost of the ferry, hotel, food and other goodies it's a small fortune and a big endeavour.
One negative aspect about living on a Island but for me the positives way out weigh the negatives.
I enjoyed living on the island, but always thought the north half was much more exciting than the Metropolis of Victoria... It was a pain in the ass taking the ferries though, I enjoyed the trip but didn't like all the strikes and work slowdowns when we lived there in the 70's.
Hey Joe you could save a little money and use this form of transport to get to Van.
I've been vancouver And Vancouver isle hiked the coastline trail long ago. Beautiful place.
