route which I'm sure is wonderful. It can be pricey though.

VIA Canadian Rail probably has a less expensive alternative for that route.

Victoria and Vancouver Island completely slipped my mind which are close to Vancouver and which I would very much like to visit.

VIA Rail runs a sleeper from Edmonton to Jasper and Kamloops

before hitting Vancouver.

I'll admit that scenery is probably worth it as well.

Leaves Edmonton 11/20, it's not a daily, but $423 for two people for a private berth with two bunks.

Dunno what to do in Edmonton though. It'll be cold af up there.

OP trip has to deal with weather. Its not bad in Vancouver itself, but has to consider snow, driving, and skiers at the time of his trip We ran into a blizzard near Banff in mid September
