The journey home.. (Austin to Winnipeg)

We had a pretty good day of travel today. Got up just after 6 to get ready and head to the airport, got dressed, Lola ate breakfast and said goodbye to Mell who got up to wish us well. 

Good bye yard
Good bye house.
Off to get gas... And the silly Canadian visa at the pump makes it sure a hassle. Back and forth, prepaying. Lola was trying to sit paitiently in the van as the clock ticked past 7:30, but AA was as calm as a cucumber. Filled up with gas and headed to return our cool van!

Glad we weren't going the other way, it was backed up because of construction.
Lola in the van at the gas station.

The car rental place was quick and we were on our way. 
Dropped our bag off and through security in about 15 minutes. That means we had over 1 hour to kill before our flight left.
Aa got 2 breakfast tacos, and sat down to wait.
Waiting.. While AA began his work crisis emails and texts... Never fails, always interrupted on vacation with panic. He is just too important to the company and a good problem solver.

Onto the plane and we first sat in the wrong seats, but them moved once we noticed, to sit with an old gentleman that loved to chat. Even woke AA up to ask him if he had been to Rio. He was very nice, and was going back to Denver area to see his oldest grandson gratduate.

Arriving in Denver we had 3 hours to kill so food was found, and more crisis emailing and texting from AA and work.
Good lunch. 

We then walked around so Lola could get her daily goal before getting back on another plane. Also she got a drink too. AA took her on the train to the different gates and we explored and walked.
Walking past our gate, following the 2 pilots..
The cool sky walk to get to the terminal, too bad a plane wasn't taxiing under it.

Back to the gate B by train.

While waiting at the gate to board our final plane, we talked to a guy who was just in Hawaii. He was an interesting fellow who thought we also came from Hawaii, since AA was wearing his north shore shirt. 

Our last leg of the trip was pretty uneventful, a little turbulence and some napping. Landed in Winnipeg to find out it was not too warm and raining.

We got home safely by taxi, to find my front planting beds are looking very good, and our lawn got fertilized and pretty yellow weeds are slowly going away?
Pretty perennials.

Might need to cut the grass soon.

Once at home off to get some groceries and make a good supper. How about curry salmon with rice and stir fried peas.



Well back to work tomorrow, and AA is off to London Ontario for work. He found that out in Denver as well.

Good night, Lola.

Ps missing my Austin friends already.
