Edinburgh to Newton

We said goodbye to Freya yesterday and I really hope that she is doing ok all by herself on the journey. It was a late night packing, and patience is a bit thin, but our journey begins today.

The flight from Edinburgh to Canada was pretty painless, although poor Allan gave up his first class seat to sit with me. I kept telling him to go back! He missed out on the better meal, but still got his free socks.
When we were in Toronto we found a lounge, food was decent and we had an ass beer (Molson) with our dinner. The flight from Toronto to Atlanta was slightly delayed, so mom and dad waited to get Freya and then came to get us.

We checked our bags in Edinburgh for free under Allan's name, but unfortunately when we got to Atlanta, they still continued on to Florida. The stress of trying to work out where to go to get the checked bags back, and then to get back to my gate checked bag on the opposite side! But we'd left security! Nightmare and panic. Luckily mom and dad drove to the international baggage claim and found the bag and we got a bus to meet them...still took forever...and that's all before the 3.5 hour drive back to Newton. Hannah tried to help and drove to Destin to get the bags, but she missed the desk closing by less than 10 minutes. It was still very nice (and surprising) of her to make the near 2 hour trip there and 2 hours back.

We did all finally arrive back to mom and dad's, and Freya was smiling and being her normal self, so it seems that she travels ok.
