Florida Trip: Day 12 - Coming Home

 Day 12

Our final day in Orlando – we would wake up at 7:15 to have breakfast and make it to the airport for an 11:55 flight.  But the flight was delayed to 12:45 so M1 went back to sleep for a bit.  When we go to the airport, the flight was delayed again to 1:10.  Then again to 1:35, 2:05, and finally 3:02.

We ate lunch at the airport around noon and at 2:15 they announced that we could get food vouchers because of the delay.  But just 10 minutes later they started the boarding process, so we could not use the vouchers.  They are good for 1 year and can be used in Toronto, though.

When we landed at Pearson Airport, we used the vouchers for drinks from Booster Juice.  Uncle Pepe picked us up and Cousin Lee picked up Uncle Kaka and Auntie Sally.  Then we had a full circle moment as we drove alongside each other on 16th Avenue again, just like when we were leaving for the trip, 11 days ago.  This time it was a greater coincidence because we left the airport at different times.  We went to Booster Juice but Uncle Kaka and Auntie Sally did not.  We took Highway 407 while Uncle Kaka and Auntie Sally did not.

When we got in our house the girls yelled and screamed, saying how much they missed their grandma and their home sweet home.  As YC would always say, “The best part of vacation is coming home.”  We enjoyed a nice home-cooked meal by Grandma and told her all about our vacation (even though we had been calling home almost everyday).  I was very happy that we all had a great time on this vacation!
