I will drive hour + if I really want something I get people coming by from richmond and complain about how long the drive was a entire 20 minutes never have understood this. Guess people don't get out much when I was younger I drove from white rock to vancouver every day no big deal just a part of life.

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. 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.

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.
