Up early to catch the 7:00 AM Transit train to the airport. Trish got up with us and walked us the ten minutes to the train station. No one drives the trains. They are completed automated.
The airport was easy and I got to have my first Starbucks pastry ever. It was as good as everyone had told me it would be. A blueberry scone. So I even managed to get that in at the last minute!
The flight home was over five hours long but there were movies and audio at each seat. Plus, they informed us that we had unwittingly paid for a meal when we purchased a ticket so we were offered some sandwiches and fruit.
Just as we were at the airport we received an email that my best friend’s Mom (Leslie Cross’s Mom, Doris, from Corner Brook, Newfoundland) had taken a turn and was now in palliative care. Mrs. Cross is a very lovely and kind person and I’m thinking about her a lot today.
Natalia picked us up at the airport and now we are back home. Lots to do here as you can imagine! Larry and I are both hoping we get to take the train across Canada again—it was a wonderful experience and pure relaxation! Our home and native land—we’ve now set foot in every province!
