Hey David,

I like your Vancouver idea. I lived there till about 3 years ago (moved to T.O.) and there is lots to do in the region. A couple of days on the west coast will allow you to enjoy Vancouver city (with lots of service related industries + great weather - should make for a good time) as well as a trip to Whistler which is just as nice in the summer as it is in the winter (biking, hiking and general sightseeing abounds).

In fact, camping in the area is really easy to do - so if you are into that kind of stuff, you shoud be able to squeeze some in.

All in all, Vancouver has both excellent city life and breath taking nature within a short drive of each other, allowing for maximum possibilities.

Good luck and enjoy whichever trip you decide on!
