The End – Except for Memories

Once we left our hotel for the airport in Vancouver we had no internet until today. We had ours at home shut off while gone and the service wasn’t hooked up for almost 3 days.

You won’t believe what we craved after 98 days. Potato chips! So at the airport our lunch consisted of a glass of wine (each) and a shared bag of potato chips. So good.

The cruise had ended. The two extra days in Vancouver were over. However we got to our 2 favorite restaurants in Vancouver and one new one that is now a great favorite and it is right in the dock area with a view.

Our flights home were yet another adventure. Our flight from Vancouver took off late because of the bad weather in Chicago. Once we got to Chicago our continuing flight to Des Moines was sitting at the gate. Great! Well almost. There was no crew. The crew was coming in on another plane. But it was delayed. And then they had used their flight hours and had to rest before flying. We got home a little after 2 AM. We were really tired. But still only slept until 7. But the nap in the afternoon was long.

We had great fun when school ended. Most of the neighborhood kids came over.

Hope to see all of you soon and share more stories.
