To get there means a trip to Vancouver and suddenly "You know you are on an Island".
Don't laugh: Roy and I got up at 6:00 AM to drive to Dukes Point to catch the 7:45 ferry to Tsawwassen (a 2 hour crossing) to get to the store by 10:00AM. Cost: $72.00 each way. Yikes. We won't be doing this too often.
The trip to Vancouver reminded us of all the things we dislike about the city: crowds and traffic and although we went on a weekday, IKEA was packed. Turns out that Remembrance Day is a big holiday out here in western Canada, not just for banks and the LCBO.
Anyway it was a worthwhile exercise just to know that the logistics would be insane. Imagine mistakes and having to do returns...
