so, sunday morning and we head to the airport to check in for our flight home. even the weather is sad we're leaving . . . yesterday for the first time and today especially, there are clouds in the sky and the smell of rain in the air. we arrived at the airport to find there are an awful lot of people in line . . . this could take a while. but only 40 minutes . . . pretty good considering there are four air transat flights leaving within the next three hours. they have lots of agents on duty and again we are impressed by the efficiency of it all.
we are seated in the second last row at the back of the plane and and very pleased to find it is quite spacious and i have lots of legroom. when the drink service started however, one french speaking flight attendant rammed her cart into the back and side of my seat. she apologized and we had a laugh. when the lunch service started she did it again, and apologized again . . . i told her practice makes perfect. she must have felt pretty bad because she wanted to give me a free cognac with my coffee but I told her i was ok and not to worry about it. she came back with a chocolate bar that i took, as nellie has been known to enjoy chocolate. the flight remains pretty uneventful until they started to serve coffee, juice and water during the last third of the flight and . . . and . . . she rams my seat again. ‘incroyable!’ she exclaims . . . i did say she was french. and i almost fell out of my seat laughing. when she worked her way back down the plane to us i pointed out to her that my seat actually stuck out into the aisle farther than the seat behind me. she must have felt better as I got a full can of juice and chips for each of us, as our fellow passengers looked on with envy.
we arrive back in alberta to find things just as we left them . . . snow on the ground and freaking cold! . . . sun may be shining but it was -14C with a wind chill making it feel like -29C . . . and thus ended a great trip.
we hope that you have enjoyed reading the blog as much as we had writing it. the pictures will be up soon and who knows . . . perhaps there will be more writing to come as we can’t wait to make plans for our next adventure. until then, all our best.
