Victoria BC was awesome, thanks to brain's suggestions. The wife and I actually met up with him and his friend who goes by Jasonistaken for some rooftop beer consumption and conversation.

Oh yes. Shopping. I cooouuullld break down the lower johnson stores by what lines and brands they carry, but I won't. I WILL say that
http://www.stilllifeboutique.com… carries some nice stuff for men, and depending on the ladies tastes, will probably please her too. Lower johnson. and on the way down there, you can pop into rebel rebel, and addiction (addiction is ladies only.)
