3 of us are off to an early June mini-vacation. After researching various hotel and flight choices online, we decided to book with WestJet Vacations. WestJet is offering 30% off the hotel booking plus the fourth night free. I also noticed that once you book the package, you can choose any flight and the package price remains the same, whether you book the seat saver or most expensive fare. We are booked for 4 nights at the Oswego Victoria. We also booked our trip cancellation and medical insurance online through the WestJet site.
We arrive early Monday morning and it is a beautiful sunny day. We get off the plane and actually get to walk on the tarmac to the terminal building to pick up our rental car. Our luggage came on same plane, always a bonus! It's sad when your suitcase has seen more exotic places than you have.
We drove along the southern coast of the island, starting at Fisherman's Wharf and Dallas Drive. This is only 2 minutes from our hotel. There are many points of interest along the way, starting with the TransCanada Highway "Mile 0" and Terry Fox memorial in Beacon's Hill park. The road follows the coast and some residential areas but most turns are well marked "scenic route". At the other end, Cordova Bay Road runs into Highway 17 and we followed it south, back to our hotel.
