Home Again, Home Again….

Well, the trip home was relatively uneventful. We enjoyed a last British meal and a couple of pints of Strongbow at Heathrow and paid twice what we did anywhere else…but it is an airport and they do have you somewhat captive, so there you go.

Our plane departed a bit late, but we had a tailwind and made up the time and arrived promptly….if there is one thing I can say about British Airways, they are generally punctual. We did have to sit on the tarmac at Vancouver for a few minutes before being allowed to disembark, they announced that someone wasn’t feeling well and had paramedics coming to help the passenger off….not me!

Our luggage all arrived, customs was a breeze and Deb had just pulled in to pick us up when I gave her a call. So grateful to you Deb for the ride home!

When we got home, Charlotte was well, but looking forward to heading to her own home after such a long time away. We weren’t actually sure who was going to be at our condo when we arrived, could be either Mom, could be both… The cats snubbed us for a few moments then decided we deserved a bit of attention. Gizmo was a bit more excited to see us right off the bat. Sunny and hot here, sunny and hot everywhere it seemed.

I’ll have a few more photos to post, haven’t downloaded anything from the camera from England yet. Many to sort through!

So grateful to everyone who helped make this a wonderful trip for us. And so sad it’s over, but the good memories make planning the next trip something to look forward to. Not sure when that will be, for the next while we will most likely be constrained to boating in our own beautiful waters of Howe Sound… postings most likely in the other blog…https://thephilosophicalfish.ca

Thanks everyone for visiting us as we traveled!

Cheers,
Paige & Kirk!
