Up early for our cab ride to the airport. Kris ordered a seven passenger van the night before and a regular cab showed up. Arghh! With bags on our lap we made it to the port in plenty of time.
We grabbed the drums that had been in storage and checked everything in. The Air Canada staff were great. The drums had to go to "oversized items" and then a quick trip through security.
A stop at duty free and then on to the plane for our 8.5 hour flight to YVR. On arrival it was raining!! Really!!
We headed for our connecting flight to Victoria but the loads where very heavy. Both Kris & Anna had seats but Kelly and I were traveling on a pass... so we are at the mercy of the sky gods.
We gave Kris the keys to the car and they got on the flight without any issue. We waited for the next one but decided to check of later loads and get a feel for the possibility of a long delay. Turns out there was only one seat available at 6 and that was it.
We cancelled our flight, retrieved the bags & drum at Baggage Services and then grabbed a cab to the ferry terminal. Another cruise with dinner onboard!
We made the 4 pm boat and Kris picked us up. Dropped him at home and stopped at Thrifty's for cream & breakfast makings. Home at 6:35!
Another adventure comes to an end.
