I’m taking off in about an hour to head north to Victoria, BC. It’s actually a business trip of sorts, I’m going to be attending the ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop. I know, I know … you’re horribly excited to hear about this

Getting there is fun, taking the car ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island (crossing Puget Sound), drive about 80 miles to Port Angeles, WA, and then take a car ferry across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Victoria. Last time we went to Victoria, we were able to take a fast passenger ferry (55 minute crossing), but that is seasonal. The car ferry takes about 90 minutes to make the crossing.

The sad part – I’ll be on the ferry during the presidential debate! I will be taping it for watching when I get back.
