Chopper ride to Victoria

I was sitting at home last Sunday and not wanting to waste a day pretending to get stuff doe on the computer so I packed an overnight bag and got a cab down to Vancouver's waterfront to try and get a standby flight with HeliJet to Victoria. The one-way flights are usually $250 but up until the end of the week they had a standby rate of $75. I'd always wanted to ride in a chopper and this was about as cheap as it's ever going to get. And the ride is 1/2 hr so you get a decent ride and a great view of the city, the Gulf Islands and Victoria. So anyway I made it down there just in time to book one of the 2 remaining seats and was off to Victoria for the night in style!
