My dear friend Kirstine and I have been close friends for more than 10 years, despite the fact that we have only lived in the same city for 6 months of those years. It has always been a long distance relationship that we have made work. We haven't seen each other in a year, have not gone away together in over 8 years, and she is pregnant with her first child. She lives in Nelson BC, an 8 hour drive from Vancouver, so we decided to book a weekend in Victoria, she flew down, my son and I took the ferry, and we met up for a really relaxed, completely enjoyable time together.
