We were awakened this morning by two really cute little girls: Matilda and Lyla. What a nice change.

Our trip back from the Caribbean yesterday, Friday could not have worked any better. We connected easily on all flights even the last one when we had an hour to clear Customs and get to our gate at the Toronto Airport for the flight to Thunder Bay. Trick was to get one of the Porters to handle our luggage and give him an objective of getting us to our proper places in the airport. Cheryl and I just fell in behind him on the run and sure enough he got us through everything we had to do at the Toronto Airport and to the Thunder Bay gate with 15 minutes to spare and meant that we made it right through from Antigua in one day.

We have already been to a Ballet lesson and Gymnastics classes for the girls this morning which was a great start to our arrival back in Canada.

Guess the other neat thing that I'll include in this short note was the recognition smell of being back in Canada. When we got out of the Airport in Thunder Bay last night there was a dramatic aroma of wood smoke, very Canadian. You might remember our story from the last trip that the dramatic Canadian aroma we experienced in sailing into Shelburn, NS was the scent of Pine trees.

That's it for now and when there are a few free minutes we'll write up a longer note about the end of our year's sailing experience.
