Hmmm. Depends on getting to the jetway, baggage claim, customs, rental car stars not going out of alignment, and there being a lack of ferry traffic for the weekend. I'd guess you can clear the airport by 12:30 (caveat: customs can be not fun there, in my experience) and get to the ferry terminal by 1:00. So the big factors is customs and how many people are heading to Vancouver Island for the weekend. Weather doesn't look too hot, so that should dampen some traveling spirits.

and the RCMP don't seem to understand that we haven't measured metric conversions from KPH to MPH. (Aren't they interchangeable? Just choose 80 KPH or 80 MPH?)
