THE TRAVEL GUYS

Arrived on Bowen Island to little fanfare (meaning NO INCIDENTS (WHEW)!!!) then the next two days were NON-STOP hospitality by the good folks there.

Where to start...The B&B's there are absolutely great!!! (there are NO HOTELS on Bowen Island)...

We stayed at Seagarden B&B where the wonderful host Sheila Webster showcased her garden that she created from scratch, working relentlessly for TWO WHOLE MONTHS!!! What a work of art!!!

The host Jean Cleator of Hollybarry B&B, managed to keep our TV CREW & Hosts happy and self-contained (pretty good for the size of our crew)!!!











The BOWEN ISLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, the Restaurants, Scenery and sports activities ALL added to the FABULOUS EXPERIENCE we enjoyed - TOPPED OFF BY A SPECIAL NIGHT OF ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED BY CHRISTIE GRACE at her studio.


We'll let you know when the episode is scheduled to air...
