AboutGeoff Wickens Expertise I have a fairly vast knowledge of the history of The City of Vancouver, BC. All my knowledge has been learned through on-hands experience. I am apt to answer most any question in regards to the history of the city, the construction of its bridges and the history behind some of its buildings.
Experience I drove cab for 5 years and in that time gave numerous city tours with full historical backgrounds. I have a thirst for history and an appetite for knowledge.

Question Hi,
I am wanting to hire a car to travel between Vancouver & Kelowna - in Jan 2008..... I understand it takes about 5 hours .... can you please advise if it is safe to drive ... there will obviously be snow on the roads ... coming from Australia so we don't have much experience with snow.
Thank you
Answer If you do not have experience in snow, I would not recommend it. You will be going through two mountain passes and it could be interesting driving in January.
You can fly with Westjet to Kelowna for $50 or so.
Have a good trip - if you need any more information, let me know.
