Hey Gary,

Since I happen to live on the big island of the bunch I figured I'd
point you in the right direction.  The Big Island is Vancouver Island
and is much bigger than the rest (500 km long).

The gulf islands are the small islands and really beautiful.  Some are
more developed than others.  Some have gas stations, some don't.  In any
case most aren't very big; I would recommend taking bikes if you can.
You could park the van and cruise around at a leisurely cycling pace.

Enjoy!

The travel section had a nice article about island
hopping in British Columbia.   Has anyone on the list
done this with their vanagon.   What are the costs and
travel time on the ferrys?   What places work well for
camping?   Is getting gas a problem?  Any and all
information welcome.   thanks gary
