So here it is and kind of short just like my 3 day stay in Victoria. The dates were May 11th, 12th and 13th, 2026. It was the first time a Trans girl get together was being held in beautiful Victoria. I was in contact with the girl that was setting the whole thing up weekly. and it would appear that the turnout was going to be less than expected. I found out that the dates for this first Victoria get together was happening at the same time as the “Esprit Gala in Port Angeles”. The gala has been around for 35 plus years and is a big draw each year so that didn’t help attendance to ours at all. It pretty much took all those from Seattle and probable even a few from Victoria. But as they say, “live and learn”. This was my learning curve as well as far at the timeline to get from Kamloops B.C. to Victoria B.C.
My drive time from Kamloops was going to be at least 4 1/2 hours to the ferry terminal and I has to be there 1 hour ahead of the time I was to board the ferry which was 3:00 pm. So for that and any possible traffic issues and delays for highway upkeep this time of year I left Kamloops at 8:00 am. I arrived at 2:00 pm so had to wait for another hour before I could go through check in. So, it meant that between the time it took the ferry to get to Victoria and an hour and a half drive from the terminal to Victoria. It put me in my hotel room around 6:30. ‘Live and lean”! but I made it thanks to a girl friend of mine who lives in Victoria. With out her I could have been another couple of hours trying to find the hotel I’d booked. Her name is Lauren and she is what is known as an intersex girl.
I met her on Cross Dresser Heaven I had never heard of an intersex person. She is actually both male and female but lives full time as a girl. So, this is the long version of my first day.
More next week…

Trish,
Great to hear from you.
I’m looking forward to the rest of your story.
Victoria is a fabulous city. I’ve always enjoyed my time there.
Love,
Jocelyn
Yes it is Jocelyn. I’ve been there a few times and always enjoyed it. The only downer is the traffic. It’s almost as bad as Vancouver. Thankfully we were pretty much within walking distance of every where we wanted to go which was great.
Yeah the overall story was pretty lengthy so it worked out well making 3 episodes out of it. The genius of Kandi 😊
Trish,
I only been in Victoria 3 times but I know it as beautiful place.
I came across the term ‘intersex’ about 20 years ago on a job application and looked into what it means and what it means to be labeled male or female.
Glad you made it and it looks like you had fun.
PS If this is the “long version”, I would hate to see what the “terse version” looks like.
Hi Cali,
No the three day trip’s post is fairly lengthy which is why we decided to do one post for each day rather than one long one. That’s why Kandi is paid the big bucks 😂.
And yeah it was a great time. From seeing the Esprit Gala girls in their period dress, then learning a couple of lessons about what girls go through on a regular basis and just hanging together for a few days. A trip I’ll remember for a long time.
Sounds like an exciting trip. My first time out enfemme was in 1977 or 8. Over the years i have had some great experiences out as my femme self. Looking forward to your next part of your journey
Hi Terri, being out as girls and enjoying spending time with them is definitely what we live for as well as the spontaneous interactions from males and females is usually icing on the cake right. This post is basically based on my travel day which made the post lacking a lot of content that the other posts have. I hope you enjoy them.
