Project 289 - Day 224 (Tuesday 27 October 2009): More Flying but Back in Canada At Last!

I have a dear wonderful friend Kerry who regards getting on planes to anywhere as 'jet therapy' - for her, not the planes! - but I merely regard planes as a way to get to where the therapy happens....

Today involved lots of airports, waiting at airports, and flying but to leaven all that, it also involved a long langorous breakfast of scrambled eggs in a sourdough basket at Boudin's with Warren, another trip to the fabulously exotic (not!) world of Wahlgreen's, a rushed trip to Ghiradelli Square for last minute photos and Halloween chocolate purchases, and a mad dash back to the Argonaut Hotel (you must stay there - its brilliant!!!) where thankfully my already packed bags awaited.....

After all the less than thrilling airport stuff, I was picked up at Vancouver airport by my long standing very special friend, Sandra, who it was wonderful to see after a 4 year absence, and talking all the way we caught the Sky Train to Waterfront station, and then Westcoaster commuter train back to Port Coquitlam where Ken picked us up. The night was such a joy - seeing dear friends again, drinking wine, eating salmon, seeing how much their kids Katie and Graham had grown, and being thrilled to be back in my second home, Vancouver.

Ah its good to be home!!
