From 40 C to 4 C, The Magic Of Flying

Well the day has come when we have to say good-bye to Curacao. We pack our bags and head out for breakfast. After one last omelet for me and crepe for Gabi we head back to the room to make sure we haven’t forgotten anything. We have a later flight so we don’t leave the resort until 1:30. Our luggage is whisked away and we head to the lobby to check out and wait for our bus to take us to the airport.

We have filled out the pre-boarding on our phones so check in is even easier. The Curacao airport is small with only 8 gates. It is not crowded and is air-conditioned! A nice way to end the trip. We board on time and take off. We have a mimosa to celebrate our trip and settle in for our 5 hour flight. Dinner is good ( I think they have greatly improved air line food since Covid! ) , we both have the ginger chicken and salad. That done we settle in to read or write this blog.

Our flight is good, some turbulence but that is to be expected. We land around 9:00 PM and debark in Toronto. I was reading an article on line while I was flying, Toronto airport has been voted as the #1 worst airport in North America for frustration level in passengers. As we head through the new security kiosks, I have a tendency to concur. It is crowed, unorganized and a pain in the ass. You still have to go through security anyway, not seeing the benefit to passengers. We get through security, I’m so glad we can skip the luggage retrieval part (yeah for carry-on luggage) and then head out to call for our limousine to take us home. This part doesn’t take to long by 10:00 PM we are in the limo and by 10:45 PM am home.

It has been a good trip with no major hiccups. I think Gabi had a relaxing time as well.

Since I took so many pictures yesterday, I’ll include some more in todays blog!Read more
