Victoria, BC — SMART Car parked across the street
Yup, we made it to Victoria. It was a 23-hour marathon that involved:
- A shuttle service that made a change at the last second and saw us almost miss our flight. Dragon dude will be dishing out some justice about that soon.
- A wildcat strike by air traffic controllers in Chicago that the pilots blamed on “weather”.
- A motion sick kid from 20 minutes before landing in Seattle until we got to Grandma’s house.
- Getting in the slow lane at the Douglas Border Crossing.
And then today, I blew up my father-in-law’s router doing an upgrade. had to do a downgrade to get it to work, but i may be buying him a new one.
Tomorrow, I will be rested and want to do something besides sleep and try and keep in touch with the world.
