Wednesday, 24 February - Lisboa

Breakfast, a walk around town, packing and on the road at noon.  We dropped off the car, had our lunch and caught the plane home.  We were a bit late getting into Toronto and then had an Air Canada agent who we figured was promoted from baggage handler and could not tell kilo's from pounds.  We ended up having to repack the bags, even though they were fine in Portugal.  The plane from Toronto to Montreal was a bit late and we ended up running what seemed like a couple kilometres in Montreal.  They actually had the people sit in their seats until the connecting passengers deplaned.  When we finally got to the gate, we found out that the plane and been delayed.  It was delayed again and again with a blizzard raging outside.  We finally got home at 0230h Thursday morning instead of midnight Wednesday - 25 hours of travel!

  1. We are glad that you got home before the big storm in Europe - but too bad your timeing on this side of the ocean wasn't as good!

    Sounds like a wonderful trip!
