Lion's Gate Bridge ~ Stanley Park NW

Getting back and forth between Vancouver and Vancouver Island can be done via three main modes of transportation each of which is quite enjoyable. I've used them all, both for business and pleasure and, interestingly enough, there seems to be a direct relationship between the cost of the trip and its the fun-factor. The more expensive the trip the funner it is.

1. Helijet - $199 Vancouver to Victoria
2. Float Plane - $120 Vancouver to Victoria
3. Ferry - $45 or so Vancouver to Victoria

The best though was the 20 minute Vancouver to Victoria trip by Lear Jet to the Commonwealth Games in 1994. That trip was a free-bee though thanks to me being in the right place at the right time.

Today I had several client meetings over in Victoria and went for option {2}. The weather on the way back to Vancouver was a bit choppy but the views, including this one of the Lion's Gate Bridge connecting Stanley Park and Vancouver's downtown to the North Shore, were spectacular.
