I had bear watching booked from Ucleulet with Jamie's for 2019 - you may want to check them out and I hope they've survived.
Have the best time! 😃😃

Thank you Anji! I’m sure it will be totally worth the wait, I can’t wait to read all about yours too.
I actually had Jamie’s info saved for the bear watching so they’re definitely still about which is great news 😃

Err, quite a lot of stuff that involves heights also. Will be covering my eyes at the sky gondola and suspension bridge pics!

Can’t wait to read along.
Safe travels and happy hols x

Thank you Amanda!
I am absolutely terrified of heights too so I’ll probably be closing my eyes on the gondola and bridge too 😂
I hope you’re having a fab time in Malta x

Thank you!
I’ve always wanted to visit too so in a weird twist of fate this has been a perfect plan B!
Isn’t it great that the world is beginning to get back to normal and we can start to enjoy going on holiday again, which also brings new trip reports 😃

Another plus point is the exchange rate is quite good at about $1.70 CDN to the pound. Just a point of interest Target used to be in Canada and didnt do well. Can you believe that?, So they closed their stores after maybe a year. Hope you have an amazing time. So looking forward to reading about it all. Have fun.

Thank you Jo!
I hope you get there soon, have you been before?
The exchange rate is fantastic! I think I got about 1.73 on my Caxton card the other day, wouldn’t it be great if the US dollar rate was the same 😂
Oh my, I can’t believe Target didn’t do well! Is there a similar alternative?
Mind you it’s like there used to be a Bath and Bodyworks and Sephora in this country and they equally didn’t do as well which is nuts!

Thank you for reading along!
That’s great you managed to get there before Covid arrived. I’m sure this won’t be our last trip either, I believe it has a certain pull.
I’ve found a Dennys just outside of Vancouver that we’ll stop at on the way up to Whistler. I really love the Grand Slam 😂.
I’m looking forward to finding an independent breakfast cafe whilst we are in Whistler though

I know, nothing like a very last minute pre trippy 😂.
Thank you so much for reading, we cannot wait now! It hasn’t seemed real or that we would actually get there until about yesterday evening

ooh how exciting. It looks like a great trip.
I'm interested in your Air BnB stays, as I'm trying to put together a Cali road trip for next year, but feel nervous about booking Air BnB. Do you know how they've behaved throughout these covid times?
