They’re here

Over the weekend we got ready for our guests arrival from the UK on Monday. They were expected to arrive at 11.10am but when we got up on Monday morning and checked on Air Canada’s website for their flight we found that it had been delayed by three hours at take off. So rather than having to leave early morning we didn’t have to leave until later as they weren’t expected in until 2.20 pm.

We had a good trip to the airport and arrived a few minutes before they were due to land. We made our way to the arrivals area and waited. They eventually came through at about 3.10pm so not too bad.

They were both fed up with traveling as they had gotten up at three am UK time to get to the airport and then had to wait for six hours at the airport until the plane eventually took off. Then they had the flight itself to contend with. They were surprisingly alert which was apparently due to drinking large quantities of Red Bull!

We drove home and we caught up with each others news. We thought they might want to go to bed, but they were still pretty okay when we got home so we had some pasta for dinner as it was quick and easy. We spent the next couple of hours chatting and eventually they gave up and went to bed around 8.15 pm. We were surprised they lasted that long.

Today we let them sleep in and they eventually surfaced and after breakfast etc we went into Belleville. More to follow later…..
