The return home

AA here. Today's return trip has been anything but uneventful. 

Things started off with having to remove the 1/2" of ice from the car in the parking lot at the hotel. Good thing it snowed last night and the ice was then on top as a crust. If it was the other way around, I would probably still be trying to get into the car. 

Once at the airport we grabbed a bite to eat. We got here early so we could eat some lunch before we left. Good plan because our flight was delayed "at least two hours". Once the delay was announced we grabbed a seat in the boarding lounge, Lola went and got some steeped tea and coffee and we waited. 

We only waiting in the boarding area for an hour before getting on the plane. Once onboard the wait continue as the delay is due to the ground crew at the de ice facility not being able to keep up with the number of airplanes. 

This has provided some time to go through my phone to see what pictures are here that haven't been posted yet. If they have, oops (I can't see what has been uploaded with my phone on airplane mode). 

1. Lola in the rental car office waiting for someone who knew how to add a second driver for free (due to my corporate account). 


2. The beer menu at Pub St Alexandre. Too many to choose from so I elected for a "nouvelle arrivé". 


3. Clear blue skies at Mt Sainte-Anne


4. La Tour de Montreal, sans persons. 


5. The lineup at the Bell Centre to get into the Can vs US game on New Year's Eve. It took us about an hour to get in. 


6. Our view of the Can US game. Amazing!


7. Two of Lola's favourite things - Tim's steeped tea and the Metro. 


8. The Old Port on New Year's Eve - great bands, the fire works must have been cold, or expired in 2014. 


9. Lola all by herself in between periods at the RUS vs US game. 


10. Lola enjoying her new toque in the hotel room. 


11. Ice? What ice?  What the car looked like this morning. 



12. Onboard and ready to go!


13. It's not easy being green. Deice fluid on the wings. 


Overall it has been a great trip. We are not looking forward to going back to work but we have to remind ourselves - only 6 weeks until our next trip;)
