Our last few days in Kingston were a flurry of parties, goodbyes, packing & cleaning. Every samll thing seemed significant: the last visit to the LCBO, the last drive down town, the last Tim Bit, the last time to see our friends, the last day of driving our van before we sold it, the last feel of Arctic weather and the last night in our Kingston home.
We were lucky enough to spend our last evening in Kingston with our neighbours, Don & Linda. This enabled us to clean our house and move out so that everything could be washed and replaced. There were a few tears shed when it came time to say goodbye!
We have shipped a cubic meter of freight home and we expect that it will arrive back in Sydney sometime mid february. We were also maxed out to the limit with our luggage. I cant believe what we have accumulated over the year!
Yesterday, we left Toronto on a 10.00am flight with a two hour stop over in Calgary. This was an adventure in itself. By the time we checked in through US customs and made our way to the next departure point, it was almost time to leave. What followed was a seven hour flight to Honolulu. We all pretty much collapsed on this flight through exhaustion. Though, I did enjoy a fantastic view of the Rocky Mountains as we passed overhead.We landed in Honolulu around 8.00pm local time and found our way to the hotel.
We plan to spend this week doing very little expcet relaxing and enjoying the balmy temperatures. Today, being Christmas was spent opening a few small presents, cruising the main drag, checking out the shops & the beach and lounging by the pool. Tonight we hope to find a buffet so that we can enjoy Christmas Dinner.
Aloha everyone!
