The original plan was to take the ferry from Victoria to Seattle. Unwisely, I booked my flight before I had checked the ferry schedules properly. Much to my chagrin, I discovered that none of the ferries would arrive in time for my flight. My only option was the first flight on the seaplane (or floatplane, as they call it). If the weather had been fine the views would have been spectacular. Unfortunately it was overcast with the threat of rain. It was an interesting experience to be in a nine-seater that took off and landed in the drink. I got one shot through the window. It's not too exciting, but the best I could do. Still, it was nice to see the islands from a fairly low altitude.
I look back at our journey and am so grateful for the experiences we enjoyed. Our impressions of Canada and Canadians were wholly positive. I look forward to returning to the majestic Rockies sometime soon.
