I have done trips down to Seattle, crossing boarders to check out corals and shops. So an hour of driving is definitely not an issue. Peter and I drove out to Chilliwack just for a frag of SSC once. :redface: This is my dedication for this hobby of ours.

I have driven from Burnaby down to Langley just to get frags and will be heading down to Abbotsford in a week for some nems.

I have also driven down to Renton WA to see what Barrier Reef Aquarium has in store last summer.

Yes Imma crazy but I will head to Mars or at the South Pole if I need to just to get an awesome coral or fish. :lol:

Mostly local (within an hours drive), I haven't come across anything that I can't get shipped or find locally to be worth the cost of going any further. I'm not sure why people are saying not travelling for hours to get something is being lazy. If you think sitting still in a chair for hours is exercise I've got bad news for you...

That's not what I'm hearing in this thread. It is understandable if someone doesn't want to drive hours. What people are finding amusing or curious I guess is that when something is offered for sale about 20 mins away in the next municipality and then they read someone write that it is too bad that they live in the next municipality. Like if someone is selling something in Burnaby and I say "Too bad you live in Burnaby" when I live in Vancouver, then that is a bit curious. That's what Brad is saying.

I prefer to be called motivationally challenged.

Didn't say you were referring to Brad for saying "not travelling for hours to get something is being lazy". I said Brad is talking about being curious about people who don't want to drive to the next Municipality. I didn't see the part where other people were calling others lazy for not driving hours. So that's all I'm saying.
