People in Black (Men in Black?) But the white runners don't quite fit. This is Gayle and Keith.

The purpose of this trip was to visit Keith and Shannon and family, and Gayle's parents,  both families having  recently moved to Victoria from Calgary. Our trip was 1 hour of driving in Toronto, 5 hours of flying to Vancouver, 1 hour bus ride to the ferry dock at Tsawwassen, 1.5 hours of ferrying to Victoria (Actually Swartz Bay, about 1/2 hour drive from Victoria), and 45 minutes of driving a rented car in the dark and rain through the mountains west of Victoria to finally arrive at Keith & Shannon's! There were also liberal sprinklings of "Wait" time between events. (1.5 hrs. before plane, 2 hrs. before bus, 20 mins. for taxi after ferry) (About 13 hours total one way)
