Victoria & Vancouver Island-The Almost Perfect Eden, 4th Edition Below is part of the Introduction to our Hill Guide to Victoria & Vancouver Island-The Almost Perfect Eden. It's "almost perfect" because nothing ever really is "perfect," and we love it anyway. We also include a Glossary of Canadian terms, so that visitors can understand and finesse the nuances. Do read the sections in this chapter called "Basic Facts" and "How to Be a Visitor and Nor a Tourist in Victoria," including the "Terms of Endearment" glossary of Canadian terms. Hopefully these will help you to better understand Victoria, Vancouver Island, and Canadians. "Basic Facts" gives you vital information - about medical insurance and emergencies; driving in British Columbia; weather and how to dress; wheelchair accessibility; gay and lesbian friendliness; money exchanges and taxes; and business hours. The "Getting Here and Getting Around" chapter tells you about the most picturesque, efficient, and convenient ways to et to Victoria and Vancouver Island from Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., as well as the best values in transportation by airplane and the best ways to combine airplane, bus, and ferry travel to the island.
