I am thinking about flying into Seattle, visiting Puget Sound and then spending a day or two in Victoria British Columbia prior to our Alaskan Cruise to see Butchart Gardens and Craigdarroch Castle. Anyone have any experience there? Opinions?


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

A great deal. The water is chilly for most Smile

It always takes forever to get your checked luggage at seatac. Don't know why, just does.

Even here in Phoenix the water is too chilly for me to swim. :P I'm not a big fan of Seattle airport (or Seattle itself for that matter), but every year for my son's birthday, I would adopt a killer whale for him that was born on the same day he was. I thought it would be cool to go see it. Then I saw the tours to Butchart Gardens and Craigdarroch. They would be so close to use, I figured we may as well go. We might need a vacation after our vacation.

I have been to Victoria quite a few times on cruise ships. The gardens are WONDERFUL and renting a car is very easy there. There is also a very nice museum in Victoria. We always love Seattle for the Market, and we took a fun free walking tour of Seattle last year where I learned a ton (even though I had been there multiple times.)

Then you really wouldn't like the canadian waters. I like Canada, hate going. Customs loves messing w/ me.
