I just got up at 3:00 AM. We're heading to Vancouver Island to spend Christmas with my sister. The only ferry we could reserve today was at 6:30 AM.

I'm not looking forward to a 1.5 hour ferry ride and a 2.5 hour ride in the truck, but I am looking forward to seeing my sister. She just sent me a SONY gift card for Christmas. With her gift, and my winnings at the MR winter contest, I can completely wipe out out my wishlist at the Reader Store with credit left over.
