Very Rushed Update, Eh?

Bob and I have been here in Canada since Sept. 30, and are due to come back to the States on Wednesday. We made it across the border; everything was copacetic. We've had our COVID tests to get us back into the USA, so that's done. 

More importantly, I've had time with my brother, and time with long-missed friends and seen long-ago pictures of us as children, hiked (!) a short trail on the Atlantic shore, visited the graves of my mother, my grandmother and my grandfather, had lobster, completed wills for BB and myself with regard to a Canadian bank account of ours, and experienced oh, so many more things. 

Unfortunately, I've been without much internet connectivity beyond my phone's hotspot, and I've kept that to a minimum because damn, it's expensive. Today I had a little time in my favorite Wolfville coffee shop., and its wi-fi. I've done some necessary banking, booked my airline tickets for next year's 50th high school reunion before I could change my mind. 

And perhaps within a few days, I'll be able to sign on at home and tell you more.

Safe travels!

[kaffy_r]

Thanks!

Oh, I'd been wondering how it was all going. That sounds deeply satisfying. I hope the trip home is also smooth, and look forward to whatever longer report you feel like producing.

We're in the "one last wash, and then pack everything and make sure all the paperwork's at hand and we haven't lost our passports" phase. That allows me to take Bob out for lobster and a grapenut ice cream cone before we head to bed. Tomorrow's flight takes off from Halifax at 9:15, so we'll be up at 5:30 a.m. (3:30 a.m. Midwest time).

And since my brother finally found his wifi password, I actually have time to post a bit.

Safe travels homeward!

Many thanks!

Glad to hear all the border crossings went well and that you're set with the Covid stuff to get back, too.

And that the trip as a whole was good, too, of course! Yay for that!

[kaffy_r]

It was indeed a good visit, and largely without negative aspects. I'm already looking forward to my trip next summer to my 50th high school class reunion. Heh.

[lilacsigil]

That sounds like a great holiday, with some practical considerations attached! Wishing you a safe journey home.

[kaffy_r]

Thanks so much!

[lokifan]

Oh, that's great!

[kaffy_r]

It was a fantastic visit!

Glad you are having a good time and getting things done all at once! Be safe coming home, dear one!

Hugs to you,Toronto's Billy Bishop airport, awaiting our flight to Chicago; home with good memories!

[a_phoenixdragon]

Thank you for this! I know you've made it home - but the love from the airport while waiting to get home made my day! Thank you, dear lady. :D

I just reread what I typed here, and I'm rolling my eyes at all the words I left out; you can tell I was already tired halfway through the journey home. I'm glad you were able to decipher what I was saying!
