so I'm toying with the idea of flying in to Victoria, renting a car on the Island, turning in the car, getting to the ferry (somehow?), renting a car on the mainland side (where?), and later flying out of Vancouver. Hmmmmmmmmmm. It already sounds like too much work and inconvenience just to save $90. Anybody make this work?

Vancouver Island, especially up north, has a swell woodsy feel to it. Many cool B&B, cabins, lodges, etc. Sea kayaking on the protected inside passage is pretty cool. BC visitor's bureau will happily send you ideas.

be safe
The ferry takes foot traffic, and there's transit/shuttles/cabs at both ends. Lots of help onboard too.

I'm working on a real estate deal in Campbell River. If it works out, that will be home for me.
