One Week in BC: A November Itinerary

What's that you say? BC in November? Why?

A pandemic really can do weird things to a person. This may include booking a one week trip to BC in the middle of November. My sister and I purchased tickets in the summer; unsure of what restrictions might be. But $230 round trip from Toronto to Vancouver on Air Canada? There wasn't much to complain about! 

This was our itinerary - a super packed but SUPER fun week where we truly felt like we went to all the places we wanted to go. I should note, there was sun 1.5/8 days we were in BC...so maybe November isn't the *best* time to go! Still...absolutely no regrets!
