It's 2.5 hours each way. She has a bad back and a hip that just pops out of joint at times, and she and her friend have 70th birthdays not that far in the offing. It is not an insignificant commitment for them. They have been friends since highschool.

I would would have signed up with them in a heartbeat, but the commute from Vancouver is formidable.
