Anyone that knows me knows that I enjoy traveling. Todd and I were lucky enough years ago to take a summer and backpack through Europe. Since then (and kids) our trips have become less of a true adventure and more of a 'known.' For instance we love Penticton/Naramata and have gone there 4 or 5 times in the last 7 or so years. Mexico a few times, Maui and the Disneys. More and more I am wanting to travel to places we have never been and experience/learn something new. This year we had talked about doing a road trip down the west coast, but we decided we didn't have enough time. So I started to mine vrbo and came up with a reasonably priced condo, on the beach in Yellow Point, British Columbia. I had never heard of the place yet as soon as I told people that was where we were going, so many knew exactly where it was and what we should do on our vacation. It was a great week spent with just the four of us.
