Our gal in the GPS device

Her name is Serena. I’m not overly fond of her voice, but I’m obliged to listen to it if I want to stay out of travel trouble.

Day 5

What a great time on Salt Spring. It left us with about four hours sleep to make the early ferry, but we’re holding up. After we dock, there’s a five hour drive to Kelowna. It will be a breeze after the drives from Airdrie to Rossland, Rossland to Salt Spring. But what drives they were. [...]
