We were on Galiano in 1994, when we took a group of summer camp kids on a two week bike trip through the islands. A much-loved professor of mine from graduate school lives on Salt Spring. I really enjoyed that island too.
We have a summer place on Whidbey. I do wish we lived there year round. Maybe when the kids are grown.
I was working at the ferry terminal then (still am), so we might have met. LOL We still get lots of bike groups, especially kids.
I ahve always wanted to go to Widbey. My kids have relatives there (through their Dad) and it always sounded so neat!
