Back at Home after a very long travel day

For the non-parents, we are back in Toronto and many of the travellers should be tucked into bed by now. Some may even be on the MCSS campus tomorrow. We had three flights, all pretty much on time and all pretty much full. Air Canada managed to get all 17 of us and our luggage from London Heathrow to Pearson all at the same time, despite the ongoing issues. Thanks, AC.

 Here's the group in Rome - at 4AM this morning, with our tour director for the last few days, Marianna. Still a few smiles despite the lack of sleep and the 3:30 AM departure from the hotel.

... and at Heathrow... after the shopping and before boarding. Quite a few Harrod's bags made it back to Canada. Our flight home was long and fully booked, but we were all seated in the same section of the plane. The flight home was fairly smooth, ableit a bit long at 8 hours. Except for a couple little epsodes of turbulence, the flight was quite smooth. The airport was exceptionally busy and we had quite a wait to get through customs and immigration. That meant we had a very short weight for luggage, which we checkin in Rome at about 4:15AM.

We'll probably keep the blog going for a while to share a few more photos and also to give the girls a chance to post. (Ladies, you can either post a comment, or see me during the week so we can arrange for you to post your thoughts, stories, and ideas.) Check back every once in a while.



Thanks to all of you who followed the blog and posted comments. We had over 2000 site visits by the time we got home. Wow! We never realized so many of you would be interested in our little adventure.

Ciao and have a good week.
