Flying High in B.C.

Summer is almost here and its time to plan another island getaway to our buddy’s house. We flew last time and let me tell you 1 hour total beats the 5 hour ferry expedition. Don’t get me wrong, I love BC ferries, great scenery, lots of fresh air and ferry food hmmm. But flying is awesome if you are pressed for time.

Look at that wee plane! Its a Chieftan airplane, 6-8 passengers. Orca Air has an ongoing deal of $59 one way to Qualicum, which is 50%+ less than the competition. The experience is very fun, maybe a bit unnerving but totally stunning views are to be had.

Even Dean and Cam fit snugly behind the pilot and co-pilot. 30 high flying minutes later we landed on the small runway in Qualicum, our friend and her dog greeting us with big smiles(yes, dogs smile).
