We always book flights directly to Victoria (YYJ) because it is a LOT easier than connecting flights from Vancouver. There is one flight leaving Toronto at 8pm, arriving in Victoria at 10:30pm BC time. There is one flight returning at 6:30am, landing in Toronto at 2pm.
We got to Toronto Pearson (YYZ) two and half hours before our flight, and decided to have dinner at the Keg right near the airport, leaving the Keg at 6:30 to catch the flight. Don't want to get in the details, but we missed our flight. We had to re-book on a red eye to Vancouver (YVR) arriving at 5am Toronto time.
We took a cab to a hotel near the Tsawwassen Ferry.
The hotel was clean and relatively cheap at $135, and was a short cab ride to get on the 9:00am ferry.
Boarding the BC Ferry "Coastal Celebration" |
"Pride of British Columbia" going the other way |
$16 each for the ferry ride.
Actually, it was fun ride! Next time we go, we will fly into Vanvouver, and do some exploring and visit my cousin Annika. There are TONS of flights to Vancouver, and lots of seat sales.
Active Pass |
In this picture, you can see the tides pushing against us:
It was kewl going through Active Pass and into the terminal at Schwartz Bay where Hans and Debbie picked us up.
