Days 25, 26 & 27 - Traveling home & Toronto



As I am writing this post, I am thinking about how much easier things seem to be when you are traveling! Now as I sit here at home in front of my computer many things are pulling me away all the time. Things that have been forgotten for weeks are now demanding attention!

But back to the remainder of our wonderful trip. We had a pretty uneventful return flight, though it was fairly inexpensive to upgrade to business class, so we did from Frankfurt to Toronto. This was pretty cool as the seats were of the pod style, and all three of us were pretty pumped about them! We arrived in Toronto for possibly the longest wait for baggage we have ever experienced! Finally 2 hours later we were navigating through the traffic in Toronto with no GPS system as none was available! Though we had our Iphones which were the live saving devices of our over tired existence at that point. We managed to get to The Fairmont Royal york where we were staying in one piece without too much trouble. We had a very quick snack and proceeded up to the room at 9:30 pm to crash for the next 12 hours!

Our day in Toronto was great, it was warm we got to see our condo investment being built and popped into a theatre to see the Harry Potter film we had been waiting for! It did not disappoint. As well, we managed to get together with our good friend Jennie whom Geoff and I traveled with during our very first trip as a couple 7 and a half years ago! We had a lovely dinner filled with great food, scenery and most of all conversation! We also saw Quentin Tarantino as he promoted his new film at the same theatre we had just been.

Our final day in Toronto, we headed to a hotel within walking distance of the airport to meet up with some of the kidlet's side of the family for a wedding. We bid adieu to the hubby and put him on a plane to Calgary to visit his brother, and off we went to a cottage in lake country!

The drive to the lake was few hours, though I traded the kidlet for his lovely aunt whom we haven't seen in a year so the conversation was great on the way out there! Josh enjoyed his grandfathers company and we all arrived in great spirits to a lovely cottage built by Nora's family in 1938.
