We Made It!

It was an early start this morning, we were at the airport by 6:00 AM for our 7:30 AM flight. The flight before and after our flight to Vancouver were both cancelled. Here are the girls in the airport.

The Girls

Claudia did pretty good for a five hour flight.

We landed on time and after we got our rental car we headed for Horseshoe Bay to catch the ferry over to the island. We went up to the sundeck and boy was it windy.

Parksville

Once we got settled in our hotel we headed down to the beach in Parksville.

There was a park at the beach. The last time we were here we only spent a few hours in Parksville, so we didn't get down to the beach.

After the beach it was over to Uncle Tak's place.
