All in all, it was a pretty good trip. I didn't like the ferry part and I wasn't overly impressed with the ocean... (hard to swim in and it tastes bad) but I loved the beach and all the interesting things on it. I ran so much that the sand wore off the pads of my paws to the point that I was ouching by the last day. I even went on their friends' sailboat, right into the galley, which was kinda cool... (how many dogs can say they've been on a sailboat?), although getting back up on to the deck was another matter.

We left the morning of the 26th, and once off the ferry, drove as far as Terrace. Left Terrace the next morning and discovered we had no 5th gear in the truck. So we drove all the way home in 4th, making for a slower trip, but we got home about 1:00 AM.
