What were some of the big/key differences you noticed between the two?
The original plan was to actually do something similar. Start at SF, visit some National parks like Yosemite, go to Seattle and then drive on over to Canada... But with some of the early outbreaks in the US happening in and around Seattle, that quickly hanged to Just Canada, which quickly changed to Lets do a NZ Roadie, to lets just stay at home :)
Between the US and Canada you mean? I thought Vancouver was more beautiful and cleaner than SF. The air also was cleaner which I really noticed for some reason. I liked the sushi better in Vancouver, in fact some of the best japanese food I ever ate. The people seemed nicer.
As I said almost everything was a little better.
Interesting. Definitely not what I was thinking of when I think of Canada for some reason. Have you made any subsequent trips, or visited other parts of Canada?
I have visited Edmonton and Glacier National Park. Edmonton wasn't all that great, the national park was spectacular.
