Still Tuesday 18th August and just arrived in Toronto
Phew, sitting in lovely Best Western Hotel room in Toronto. In front of air conditioning! Sooooooo hot in last plane, third for 30 hours. Gosh what an adventure and thankfully I took son Dave's advice and slept as much as I could. My book can wait.
once on the first United Airlines plane all good, space, movies ... Watched Disney's Cinderella (naturally) and a show about building treehouses (naturally).
good take off and landing. Then came the second United Airlines flight from Los Angelas to Chicago. Small. Cramped. No food. Terrible turbulence, scarey. Evidently large storm shell. Then the landing ... Well, we basically dropped onto the runway sideways. Everyone made noises. Scarey. Kissed the ground. Third flight was another United Airlines flight. Getting smaller. All in plane. Taxied out then sat on runway for one hour as storm was making all flights leave from one runway and we were like no. 30 waiting for clearance. Up and at em. Slept whole time. Landed. But , oh no, the extendable gate that links to plane was stuck 1 metre away. After one hour in no air conditioning everyone had to sit down and the plane went somewhere else to disembark. Consequently everyone's bags were in a different part of the airport.
What an adventure! I have walked kilometres, sat for hours, and having fun in a funny sort of way.
The icing for tonight is seeing photos of beautiful Grandson Finn. The next icing is that there is a message here for me from the American couple I met at Milton end of 2015 whilst rug making. They are taking me to Niagora Falls tomorrow! AWESOME! Shower and my queen size bed are calling. Nite nite.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Although there was a lot of paper work, I received help and guidance when I needed it.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
