Mapping
Here's the boring route I chose for my trip to Vancouver next week:

What the Philosophers say about reality is often as deceptive as when you see a sign in a second-hand store that reads: Pressing Done Here. If you went in with your clothes to have them pressed you would be fooled; the sign is for sale.

A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The Clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.

Well, it can't be that boring - I've driven to Vancouver and back at least eight times and never taken your route. :)
Technically I should have written "the boring route Google chose." To be honest I've never taken the Trans-Canada the entire way either... This is the first time I'll be making the trip out in two days rather than three, so I just went for the shortest path.
The most "exciting" highway would be the Hope-Princeton: s-curves and winding paths up the sides of mountains and down again; always a great ride on the motorcycle. (Also one of the more dangerous highways in western Canada...)
I didn't know you were headed to Vancouver. Any particular reason you're headed that way???? Wanna make a detour on the way home???? (wink, wink)
We'd make it worth your while.
Isn't it just a 12 hr trip? And you take 2-3 days? I wouldn't be able to stand taking so long to get somewhere. Unless I wasn't really going anywhere in particular, then I wouldn't mind taking a little longer getting there :) Wish you were going 12hrs North instead of West though.
When you misjudge a turn on a motorcycle, you can't call a towtruck to pull you back onto the road. There are only itty bitty squishy pieces left, and towtruck drivers don't know what to do with those...
it won't be boring for me! i get to have coffee with you.
