I think I have the route it fixed now. Keep in mind that if I could turn
off the directions and times at this point I would, as there are WAY to
specific for our planning at this point - I have also assumed driving speeds
slower than one might typically see to allow for a 20 minute stop every 3
hours driving time. I.e. instead of 60mph, I've used 54 mph on the
highways.
Regarding the handoff from Seattle (Jamie), I think it is scheduled for Port
Angeles rather than Victoria itself as you suggest (if I remember
correctly), so you would pick up the Tour there the evening before or at
breakfast. If I am wrong, and the handoff is in Victoria, please let me
know and I'll adjust things. (Looking at the itinerary I'd better fix that
up --- too many things to adjust !)
Can you get them to hold off on widening the Sea-to_Sky highway until after
the Tour? ;o) That is one that is definitely a "must drive" in my humble
opinion.

Subject: Re: [JONAT] Updated Route Maps
Cancel my previous comments; I found Victoria/Vancouver, but the box for
this segment should be in the previous segment, not in the Vancouver-onwards
segment.
While we have tine to make these sorts of corrections, here is one now,
and this is a good indication of why we MUST vet these maps. The
instructions given for leaving Victoria are simply wrong. On Day 11, the
instructions say to take Fort Street, then turn RIGHT on the Trans-Canada
Highway (Douglas Street). Fort Street is a one way street going East. You
must turn LEFT on Douglas Street if you want to get out of the city. Can you
correct this?
The other thing is that the maps and schedules assume a more or less
non-stop progress; this is not how people will travel. In Victoria, we will
find some way of greeting the ferry (May 16 or later, depending on the
previous schedules) from the US and giving the travellers information about
the city, where to stay, eat, what to see, etc. There is lots to do on the
Island, from whale watching to visiting vineyards, and people will have no
trouble filling up a few days. This may well serve as a "flex time" to allow
people to catch up if they have been delayed or taken more time in previous
segments.
The map assumes that the travellers will go from Victoria, up Vancouver
Island, north to Nanaimo, then across on the ferry to Horseshoe Bay, north
of Vancouver, (this is a beautiful trip) and then on up to Whistler. Some,
many, in fact, will decide to proceed directly into Vancouver at this point.
The Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler, gorgeous as it is, will be under
construction in preparation for the winter Olympics to be held there. The
extent of the construction will not be known for a while, but we will be
able to provide an update. Most (myself included) won't want their Jaguars
subjected to gravel and the inevitable delays. But the important thing is
that travellers be in Vancouver of the Friday night (May 21) in preparation
for the Van Dusen All British Show the next morning. The cars go on the
field by 9:30 and leave around 4 PM. It is not to be missed if you love
beautiful cars, in a beautiful setting. There will be a dinner that night,
and the next morning (Sunday) we head off to parts east. The "hand off"
will, I think be done at the dinner.

I've updated the route maps and introductory webpages for each sector from
Orlando through to Winnipeg. The routes are as I understand them as of
today (SC's, please let me know if I've screwed up somewhere). Comments
appreciated.
