Catchup - Nov 5th-11th

Nov 5th

Hey I love this idea!

I ❤️ this one!!!

Nov 8th

Okay I'm done with booking online!!! I need my sewing/quilting time but too much to do yet!!!

But I straightened out my ParknFly booking so that's a relief. Also Aruna, my travel agent, is booking my hotels for me as I get different rates from their listing and my trying to book, I've no patience for that! Tonight I was trying to book my car rental and I could feel my frustration building as the booking form does not conform to being "dropped off" to pick up the car, they want to "pick you up", GRRRR!!! So tomorrow I'm going to CAA and let them book for me, hopefully better than my attempts!

The only good is using my pent up frustration and now a nice clean bathroom, kitchen next!!!

OMGG!!! This is so realistic looking!!!

Thank you so very much Aruna in doing my irritating online bookings for me!!! I just don't understand how I managed my Aeroplan flight and the FlixBus to London ON but totally screwed up my ParknFly which is correct now to giving up on the hotels and car rental? Some sites are more user friendly than others!!! Anyways ALL are glad I'm set now and anxious for our visit. I even have my carryon set, my suitcase is another matter but it's getting there. It's feet up time for the evening!!!

After all this I'm just about ready to go back to stone age and no electronics!!! Yeah right!!!

YEAH!!! Well at least one thing is AWESOME today! I'm checked in, boarding pass has been issued and on the AC app and noted flight so far is on time! Hope it stays so! 🤗

Sylvia lent me her lightweight roomier backpack and my three larger items fit in with room to spare. YEAH!!! Mine was too small!

Now to get my stomach sorted out, maybe a walk to the Forks in the afternoon? 😒

My bathroom n kitchen are cleaned, floors vacuumed and washed. WOW!!! Resting some then to finish packing and I think I'm ready for 4:15am get into gear and drop off the car 5:20am and shuttle to the airport for 6am checkin etc! So far it says on time and my friend says early mornings usually are on time. Hopefully no delays!!!

I must be sick!!! No I'm not, but dang it, 7pm, I'm all packed, photos backed up to hard drive and now relaxing having toast n peanut butter snack. I sure hope I've not forgotten anything!!! Even my small tatting is gathered together and bagged for the suitcase. And that dang thing better arrive there and back home safely!!!!!

AND I better have a good sleep as last night I didn't, then up 6:30ish!!! 4:15am arrives to dang early for me!!!

Ohhhh with all going on I forgot to post my newest tatting decorations! I'm not keen to work with these metallic Lizbeth threads but got them so gotta use them. Interesting how the red beads reflect off the same iridescent as the ones with clear beads looking brighter. The pattern is Fenella by Heather Buckman (Tatania Rosa).

HEY, snow is trying to form and fall at 5am!

That was easy peasy and I allowed too much time for ParknFly and shuttle to the airport. But still on flight on time and settled with Tim's breakfast. I'm using my walking stick but should have taken chair assist as naturally my gate was at the far end and it took some effort standing in lines. Silly me!!! I stopped at the boarding station and asked to preboard as my hip/leg is achy. They very kindly changed my Toronto arrival and the return bookings for chair assist! 👌

I wore it till I was in Oakville walking to my hotel!  I even had compliments on it!

Nifty, off UP train.  I wasn't on the side to see the CN Tower or ball stadium.

Well I made it to Oakville but too early for checkin so spotted at McDs before it for a burger and coffee. Ohhhh that's a long day from 4:15am plus walking in Wpg airport, thank goodness chair assist was waiting for me in TO! She even took me to the exit to the UP train and very glad for that as it was a long haul. Then I had to walk, seemed in circles but not, to the train and then again at Union Station for the GO train to Oakville. Then it's only 600m or 9 minutes by Google maps, not by me, to the Holiday Inn BUT I can tell you I NEED this McD stop, lucky my hotel is maybe a block behind!!! Enough walking today!!!

Yes the forecast called it "dreary" and it is but fall colours are still here!

Now relaxing until Nancy picks me up for supper!  🥰
