Day 640 is sadly our last day on the island and it is only a partial day. I took a semi sunrise photo at 6:45 am then crawled back into bed until 8. Once up we packed a wee bit then everyone meandered to Rituals for our morning beverages. Sheldon enjoyed another grande cafe au lait in a cup the size of his head. This was a great energy start to the day. We also tried the mini jam croissants which were warm and delightful.
Our morning walk on beach was beautiful and sunny. The water was crystal clear and turquoise blue. It is going to be sad to have to trudge thru snow if we want to walk :-). Back at the condo Sheldon took a refreshing dip after the warm walk then it was time to get serious about packing up our bags. It is going to be interesting when they weigh them at the airport.
Lamie our first cabbie picked us up at 12:30. It was a fairly fast paced drive south cutting to the east coast taking less than hour and half. We checked in just before 2, went thru security then enjoyed a snack in the air terminal. Sheldon and I tried local fare called roti, he beef, me chicken as well as a fruit smoothie for $31 US. It was then time to sit and wait. Our flight ended up running late but once we finally were loaded and in the air, we did arrive in Toronto 5 1/2 hours later on time at 9:10 pm EST. The flight was very good. We watched Taken 2 and Trouble with the Curve then other TV (HGTV for me, sports for Sheldon) while enjoying a frosty cold coors light and clam! with the bits and bites snacks they serve.
Toronto airport was very efficient getting us thru customs, baggage and on the shuttle to our Best Western hotel arrived checked in by 10:15, impressive to me. The weather was not nice however at -15. There was a mix up in our room but they soon managed to find us our king room even though they said all were sold out. A hot shower was most enjoyable. I caught up with Kaylin who got the job at Sephora starting Monday!! and Britt who was in Calgary with Grama and Papa and Kaylin enjoying supper and a movie. Sheldon continued to catch up on news and TV shows. Tomorrow will be another early morning as our shuttle back to the airport leaves at 7:20.
