Collingwood to Toronto to Rio de Janeiro

Collingwood-Toronto -Houston, Texas- Rio de Janeiro

Alarm at 5:50 am, up, shower, breakfast and final pack. Seems very strange to be starting out again.

David picked us up at 8:00 am and we arrived at the airport around 10:00 am. There was nobody at the airport and we sailed through to the gate. We departed at 12:40 pm.
Smooth flight to Houston via United, arriving at 3:30 pm Our wait in Houston was 6 hours. We found a quiet area with Wi-Fi and passed the time fairly easily. We had a lovely supper in a restaurant at the airport called Pappadeux Seafood Kitchen. Our waiter was very pleasant and with a glass of wine we passed the rest of the waiting hours just fine. We boarded at 9:50 PM for a 9 hour overnight to Rio. Once on the runway, our flight was delayed an hour because of paperwork, and so we sat. The pilot hoped to make up some of the time and he did by ½ hour. Supper was vegetarian lasagna and lemon sorbet. Lee had her usual very restless night and was so happy to get off the plane. No pictures for today.Read more

After the three hour flight to Toronto, we used a wheelchair all the way through the baggage pick up area and Customs and right to our car that David, thankfully, had driven down from Collingwood to pick us up. He then drove us back to his house in Collingwood, jumped out, and we continued on our own back to our house.

When we walked into the house, we had a great surprise; David, Kate, Lilah and Callie had decorated the house with our Christmas decorations, including our tree. How they found all the decorations is a mystery but a real feat. We were so thankful.

It was a wonderful way to come home and to end our trip.

The next day, on December 23rd, Lee got another most welcomed Christmas surprise. She was advised that the surgery for her hip replacement was scheduled for January 9th!Read more
