Greetings from Victoria.

As Martha's been telling those on the mainland all day: "We're now Islanders."

We had a chance today to explore some parts of the city and check on real estate. There are some nice places for sale in the city, and the distances don't seem very daunting when compared to what one'll typically travel to and fro in YYC. Also pleased to report that Sam had a chance to take a dip in the Juan De Fuca Strait.

Ventured up to the top o' Bear Mountain today. It's a beautiful place, but I don't think that commuting is something I'd like to do from there. Of course if all I'm concerned about in the way of business is my tee time, then it'd be a done deal.

And while I may be ready for semi-retirement, my "significant Islander" isn't quite.
