So I'm reserved for the ferry (I lose $20 each way on the reservation, if I cancel. Cheap insurance.), with the assumption that we will find a place to stop in Kamloops or Kelowna on the way there and back. We are fortunate to have the flexibility to leave a day early and return a day later. I shelved the idea of doing it in one sitting. In my younger years, I did Calgary to Seattle in one day, but I was a lot younger then, no kid, etc. and I just can't be bothered to do that again. Would rather break it up a bit.
Still not jazzed about spending that much time in the car (and I don't mind driving, generally), but I feel comfortable with my backup plan, should I need it.
If this strike is averted then I am out $40 on the ferry reservations. Everything else is changeable/refundable if needed, and the airfare refund can offset gas and extra accommodation.
