All good I'm not much of a Tim Tam eater....
However it is one of those request made by hosts of Aussie guests
"Bring the Tim Tams"
Have you not discovered Tim Tams??
Oh I'm 90% going for the traditional class with Barb

My wife loves Tim tams, they are available here in BC at some grocery stores. The dark chocolate ones are a favourite but hard to find ☹️
Great with afternoon tea, before evening scotch 😀

The tyranny of distance.... we in the Southern Hemisphere can't just decide a few weeks in advance to attend Kilt KAMP unfortunately, so....
Yes I've just booked my flights.
All this is rather flexible but does this seem ok?
- Australia to Honolulu 1-2 nights stay
- Honolulu to Seattle maybe 1 night stay
- Seattle to Victoria via clipper ferry with a tour of the Butchart Gardens & a nights stay
- change to a B&B in Fernwood
-Kilt Kamp
- exploring the West Coast of the USA until I'm broke, bored, or over travelling
- fly from somewhere on the west coast to Hawaii stay a few nights
- Hawaii to Australia
Advice, suggestions and other information most welcome.

Breaking up that very long flight from Australia is a very good idea. You are not only dealing with a 6 or 7 hour time zone difference across the date line but a total swap of seasons. You will leave home in your winter and arrive here in the height of our summer.
A bit less jet lag if you spend 2 days in Hawaii.

Wow, you are very organized! I am impressed. The itinerary seems good. One of us can pick you up at the Clipper ferry dock in Victoria.

Tim Tams
About 15 years ago, Arnotts had chilli-flavoured dark chocolate Tim Tams in their range for a year or two. Aye fond memory!
