An early start to the day - up at 3:45, out the door by 4:25 and lined up at Westjet check in at 5:00 - it took me an hour and 15 minutes to get through the check in line, but my lovely daughter Courtney kept me company...she is heading back to Australia and had a 10:00 flight to L.A., then a 10 hour layover and then a 12 or so hour flight to Sydney...I guess my 2 little one and four hour flights don't look so bad!!!!
After multiple hugs and kisses from Courtney and a few tears (not sure when we'll meet up again as she is still planning to travel the world for the next year or so) I breezed through security just in time to board my plane to Calgary...about ninety minutes later we landed in Calgary and an hour later I was on a flight home to Ottawa...great flights despite there being no TV/movies happening as their system wasn't working...
I arrived in Ottawa at about 4:30 our time and was thrilled to see my son waiting for me...big hugs for him, and minutes later, Randy appeared as his direct flight which left 2 hours later than mine arrived at essentially the same time...he is off to Barbados on Wednesday, while I return back to work tomorrow...
And thus ends my Olympic adventure, well except for the retelling of stories...I have lots more pics than what I've posted here and more stories to tell to anyone who is interested in hearing/seeing them...I hope that you've enjoyed reading about my month away - it has been a great way for me to track my adventure...
And now, back to regularily scheduled programs....
GO CANADA GO - Thanks Vancouver for a great Olympic experience!!!!
