This is a retrospective post as have been digitising old photographs. As of 2026 we suggest that you find the latest on DECADES OF TRAVEL or our TRAVEL VIDEO BLOG sites A return to Canada in 1999 brings back glacier‑lined highways, emerald lakes and the kind of motorhome freedom that made every mile feel unforgettable. This cheerful retrospective revisits British Columbia and Alberta at their scenic best — wildlife moments, mountain passes, quiet campsites and memories that still shine decades later. A warm, nostalgic look at a trip where the landscapes were huge and the smiles even bigger.

We travelled around British Columbia in a motorhome starting in Vancouver, then Vancouver island including especially whale watching at Tofino, a fab pod of killer whales that hadn't been seen for over a month, guess we were just lucky, then up to Port Hardy to catch the ferry to travel the inside passage up to Prince Rupert, a magical journey. We then headed across to Prince George, down highway 97 into Kamloops and saw our dear friends David & Cathy and family in Edmonton before finishing up in Vancouver again to give the van back and fly back home. A nice trip, lots of miles , fabulous scenery and a great little van.
