      Sounds like a grand plan!

      If you dont mind me asking, how did you plan this?

      Quite envious of you now. How much will this trip cost?

      I have always wanted to do somethign like this but never got off my lazy arse.

      Have a great time.

        To be honest planning it is the easy bit. A trip like this for two, costs about £5k.

        The most important thing is to get the attitude right, you will be spending some uncomfortable days, some uncomfortable nights, and you will be with the other person almost constantly.

        I always make a point of going to the bar on my own, so she can have a good hard f@rt, without having to be ladylike. like.

        If you plan on doing 400 - 500 miles per day, with a 1000 miler thrown in, you can bank three four day stops, which become mini holidays in their own right, in wildly different parts of the continent.

        And the stories, adventures and experiences are worth all the pain

            If you're passing near Whistler, you could do a lot worse than staying overnight at:

            Pemberton Valley Vineyard Inn & Lodge - Pemberton BC near Whistler, Accommodation & Lodging

            B & B in a vineyard in Pemberton Valley. Mrs OG and I soppted there about 4 years ago. The owner was away in the evening so got a fantastic chef in for the guests (just Mrs OG and me). Very memorable meal with wine made on premises in a stunning setting. I still remember the breajfast frittata as well. Mmmm.

              the missus has been looking for bear bells and pepper spray, for the Grizzlies.

              She asked me where and what habitat we could find the different species, and how could we tell what to expect.

              So I told her we would examine the poo. Black bears poo contains berries and nuts, Grizzlies poo contains little bells and smells of pepper
