Planes and Boats and Trains

No planes or trains but boats are involved.  Today we leave for our road/boat trip to Haida Gwaii.  Our ferry leaves Tsawwassen at 10:15 AM.  When we got our confirmation from BC Ferries, it shows we need to be at the ferry terminal between 90 and 120 minutes before the departure time to check in for our reservation!  If we are late, we lose our reservation.  Wow, it was 30 minutes the last time we had a reservation on an island ferry but then on the August long weekend when I saw the huge lineups I understand why this changed.  I would hope it changes back in the fall when the ferry traffic decreases.  

We are meeting our friends Margaret and Dave at an English pub in Nanaimo. Then  we drive to Campbell River where we have a hotel reservation.  

I don't remember the last time we took a road trip.  I must say I am enjoying the fact I don't have to weigh my suitcase.  I'm packing absolutely everything I think we may need.  

If in the next few days if I don't post on my blog daily it's because I'm out of wi-fi coverage or I'm having a wonderful time.  I will catch up when time permits.

It's time for Aunty Acid
