My wife and I are planning a cycling trip around/through the San Juan Islands (and other points of interest: Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria, etc.) for early August. We also plan to carry as little gear as possible (perhaps some minimal camping equipment). Since I've never visited that area of the country before, I'd appreciate it if someone could point out the "must see" locations, particular islands of interest, availability of Inns on the islands (and are reservations necessary...or can you just ride up and get a room). I'm hoping that we can follow our impulses once there on were to go next. We are more interested in using the bikes as a means to get from point to point locations that ferrys don't access and to enjoy the scenery (as opposed to trying to see how much milage we can put on...we can do that at home). Since we are just starting the planning, the need for reservations at particularly popular locations would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

We plan to take the train from L.A. to Seattle and back (with a stopover on the central California coast...Moro Bay and sailing with friends).
