We had a great lunch at TGIF and a large adult beverage to go with it!
6 hours later we boarded the plane for Toronto. The drama then started, people not sitting with their families trying to arrange seating with other passengers and of course some would not budge stating why should I move for you I am not sitting with my family either...thank the lord I was smart enough to check us in online the night before, we were all together watching the immature adults act worse then little kids! TWO hours later we got off the ground and headed for home, it was a great flight with lots of food and adult beverages (Canadian ones even.)
Got into Toronto around 11pm, my brother was there waiting for us. He then told us of my mothers fall, she was in the hospital with broken shoulder and possibly broken leg. She was in good spirits and doing fine.
This trip is now over but will never be forgotten, it was such a wonderful tour. We met people from all over and some will be life long friends. Thanks to all on the tour bus for being punctual and behaving so well. Most of the time we didn't know we had kids on the bus. Thanks to John for being Jim's bus buddy, don't know what he would have done with out you...hahaha
Thanks to Jeff for saving me from falling down the stairs in the Doges palace!
Most of all thanks to Jim for giving us an awesome vacation we will always treasure!
