Private Pleasures

The day looks something like this:

• 0400EDT – Humphries Limousine Service will be escorting our tender early morning selves to Pearson’s, where we will pass the time as unconsciously as possible, until

• 0700EDT – a snazzy 767, courtesy of Air Canada, will hurl us through the air and in the general direction of the Pacific Ocean

• 0857PDT – we’ll fall to the ground, in a hopefully controlled manner, rested, refreshed, and ready to take on the Vancouver Public Transit System, that Great Bringer of Us to the Horsehoe Bay Ferry Terminal

• an hour or two later-ish, there’ll be an exciting boat ride towards the Nanaimo Harbour Ferry Terminal, home of tasty confection, where C’s father will be waiting for us

• an hour and a half later will find us on the road, heading up towards Campbell River

• a couple hours later, and the slightly less exciting (read: much shorter) boat ride across the river to ::da da dum:: Quadra Island

• vacation will commence.
