Victoria/Seattle Bound? Kenmore Means More Time

Just think of it – get from Seattle, WA’s Lake Union to Victoria, BC’s Inner Harbor – that’s “Inner Harbour” if you read/write/speak Canadian – in about the same time it takes to drive from downtown Seattle to the Eastside. (Less, even.)

The flight - whether heading norht or south - offers breathtaking views of the San Juan and Gulf Islands.

We’re talking a mere 35 minutes here – give or take. All for the cost of about $100 US each way – again, give or take (your Hedonista recently flew courtesy of Kenmore). (One-way rates are about $139; round-trips range from $198-$239; and a student standby rate – be sure to arrive at least one hour prior to departure – of only $69 each way!)

Interested? Then consider Kenmore Air the next time you take a trip to Victoria – which, by the way, with its increasingly edgy cultural evolution, is now any self-respecting-hipster-hedonist’s winter destination. In fact, Victoria’s former moniker,the “City of Roses” – still Portland, OR’s moniker, in fact – has now been changed to “Full of Life” to represent its growth as a small yet cosmopolitan city; a place where old world charm meets new world experiences. (But more on that in future articles, my dear readers).

Circling Victoria's Inner Harbor - that's "Inner Harbour" in Canadian - prior to the water landing.

This travel deal also goes for folks in Victoria wanting to get to Seattle’s Emerald City – where one will also find, among many other things, a veritable hedonistic haven. You can get there in about the same time it takes to get to the Cowichan Valley. (Less, even!)

The perks: Fast waterfront service either way, price in the very low three-figures.

The drawback: Flying is, of course, weather-permitting. Be prepared for flight cancellations if stormy skies are on the horizon (been there, done that).

In short, if you want lots more time in your destination city for just a little more money, go fly with Kenmore.

For, as the old adage goes, time is money.

So go fly on a float plane.
