I'm with the exclude Vancouver Island or else spend the entire time there, group. I have spent 3 weeks on the Island...and yes, it was enough time, but I could have spent more. The sheer cost of going over with your stuff is considerable, too, so for only a coupe days...ouchy ouchy.
If you are going to opt out of the Island then, just point yourselves east across Highway 20 in Washington. If you haven't been to Winthrop and Twisp...ya gotta go. Man, in September that is SO pretty. That will bring you to the Okanagan Valley in Wa., then turn north and enjoy all of the area from the US plumb up to Salmon Arm,BC, then turn right and to Revelstoke and then right again down into the Kootenays, to the southern border, turn left to Calgary, turn left into Banff and Jasper...and head home from Jasper down the Yellowhead. Now THIS is a route for the fall, baby!
