The article discusses a family's experience traveling from Vancouver to Victoria by seaplane instead of the ferry. The family, which includes a toddler, found the seaplane to be more expensive—about twice the cost of the ferry—but much faster and more convenient. The flight took only 35 minutes, compared to the ferry's 95 minutes, and they avoided long drives and transfers that could disrupt their toddler's schedule. They enjoyed beautiful views during the flight, and although the seaplane ride had some turbulence that upset their daughter, they appreciated the quick travel time. The ferry is usually cheaper and can carry more people and vehicles, but since they didn't have a car, the seaplane ended up being a better option for this trip. The family plans to use the ferry in the future for longer trips or when their daughter no longer needs naps, but they were happy with their seaplane choice this time.
