Day 21 what a day

Time to leave the resort and the Rockies today, the place is stunning and if it wasnt for Mariah's 50% staff discount we couldn't have afforded to stay there.

We had a 410 klm drive today to Edmonton Airport to catch a flight to Toronto to see my sister. Then a near disaster struck, we had allowed time for the drive to the airport with 2hrs to spare. In shutting the boot on her Ford Explorer, Mariah got her finger caught in the number plate and nearly cut the top of her finger off..

With the clock ticking we rushed into Jasper to the hospital hoping it wasn't busy at that time of the day. The finger had to be x-rayed, her nail cut off and stitched. All up this took 2hrs i.e. all the time we had allowed. Really looked like we would miss our flight.

Mariah insisted on driving and sat on 120kph all the way. Parked her car and we all ran into the airport, there was no one at the gate and it turned out we were the last passengers to check in before they had to close. We then had to rush through the airport to board the plane.

We flew with a mob called Porter Airlines, almost new jet nice food and wine and in glass not plastic. It was a 3hr 15min flight and there was a 2hr time diff so we didn't get to the hotel till 11.30 pmRead more
