Hi!
We're making the home "schlep" in two steps, today -- Paris CDG to Toronto, tomorrow, Toronto to Phoenix. Have to say that we made the flight this morning in good time, but WOW, what chaos trying to find the rental car return! Keep forgetting that there are absolutely NO rental car return signs until you actually get to your terminal! So...did manage to get the car filled up with gazole (another name for diesel) and leave it in the right place ... all good things! The check-in was fine, and we were able to get two first-row economy bulk-head seats -- YEA! SO comfortable! The flight was fine; uneventful, and took a little under 8 hours. Off the plane and through Canadian customs in fairly short order (did get into a discussion with a immigration officer who wanted to know just was up with the Phoenix Coyotes declaring bankruptcy...thank heaven I pay attention to sports talk radio!)
Watched movies over again ... I have now seen Bride Wars THREE times!
Got the hotel shuttle at the airport to the Residence Inn, and settled in. Made it just in time for the UEFA Champions League finals, which I thought we were going to miss! So!! Sorry all you ManU fans, but we Barca fans had a TERRIFIC afternoon!
Then we walked a couple of blocks to The Keg for a terrific welcome-home dinner! R had filet with baked potato, mushrooms and veggies. I splurged and had a sirloin AND a lobster tail!! Also with baked potato...was JUST able to finish eating and stumble back to the hotel -- good timing, as it's POURING outside now!
It's now 7:14 p.m. Ontario time, and I'm headed to bed. Had planned to watch the Wings-Blackhaws hockey game tonight, but may not make it! Whew! Long day!
More tomorrow!
Much love,
m

It's so nice to hear you still follow your sports! That is the # 1 thing I remember about you from high school... that and your liverwurst sandwiches. You've obviously refined your taste in food! HaHa!
How was Bride Wars?
