Gear:
- Either DSLR or A7R; either body with 2-3 lenses
- WIll bring a travel tripod; may bring a macro lens, if needed.

NON-Candidates - Have been to these and am ruling these out for this trip:

I'm going to Port Townsend, WA for the Wooden Boat Festival Sept. 5,6 7, and will then check out the San Juan Islands and Victoria, BC. If time permits we may also see some of Olympic National Park. Lots of ferries there to get around.

BC is one of our favorite destinations, but we usually go towards the end of June so we can spend Canada Day (July 1st) either at Butchart Gardens or some other location. Unfortunately, I have too many other commitments around that time; otherwise, we'd already be booked for that trip.
So, I have go in September. Have fun on your trip!
