July 17th - Vancouver - Homeward Bound

July 17th - Vancouver - Homeward Bound 

I still had heartburn and no ginger with me!  Up a few times feeling uncomfortable till morning!  Met Leanne and Rod downstairs for breakie, this time blueberry French toast but it was so huge only ate one slice and coffee too strong to enjoy!  We got a last picture together and they left on a cycle jaunt around Stanley Park and the waterfront - another beautiful day fir being outside!

Rod's and Leanne's photos around Stanley Park.  Thank you!

I packed up, checked out and got a cab to the airport where I had lunch at the White Spot before crossing the line to the gates!  

There was a Tim's just around the corner but the one after screening was WAY out past gate 38 and I was at 16!  I made it halfway but then decided no coffee and returned.  I even asked for a buggie ride but one was only for AC passengers and the other said NO emphatically. HMM!!!  So slowly got back to my gate and asked for preloading - not an issue at all, even asked if I needed a wheelchair.

Before we took off one child right behind me started crying shrilly off and on - felt sorry for it and Mom!  Will be a long flight as child cried all the way - my earplugs went in!   Then the sibling's toddler and I could hear another two further back but those quietness down, not these two.  Totally glad I'm off that plane and into a sense of quiet!  Soon home to my silence.
