I left home as planned on Dec 6 and drove to Nanaimo in female garb covered by loose jacket and pants. However, instead of heading directly to the ferry I made a random stop at a beauty salon where I took a huge chance and walked in and asked the lovely ladies there if there was any chance that they could give me a manicure and perhaps a facial make up. After an initial shocked reaction, they became extremely positive and showed me to the back of the empty salon where they sat me down and gleefully began to work on me as they plied me with questions!
