HOME, SNOW AND THE LAST POST

We have our last visit with Hannah in her apartment.  She is cleaning and packing and very excited about her visit to her friends at "Western" in London, Ontario. She leave NYC on Thursday morning returning Sunday evening.

When we return to our apartment we say goodbye to the doormen, superintendent and maintenance man in our building.  They have all been very good to us while we have been here in NYC.
We get ALL of our suitcases downstairs and into the car which arrives at 5.30pm.  We have 3 suitcases all just barely under 50 pounds.  Cathay Pacific still allows us 2 suitcases each, 50 pounds each, to be checked.   We also have Terry's guitar and 2 carry-on suitcases a backpack and a handbag.  It takes us an hour to get to the airport.  I thought it might take longer as the roads were very busy.  We get checked in with no problems and head to the gate.
Our flight home was uneventful and we arrive in Vancouver just after 1 am.  We arrive at our home at 2am.

We had a wonderful time living in Manhattan but it is very nice to be home.  Roision has done an amazing job looking after our house and yard.  She raked leaves and shoveled snow.  I did not anticipate the snow thing when I left on August 24th!!!!  Our house is spotless.

I have enjoyed writing this blog and look forward to rereading it at a later date to refresh my memory of the adventures of the "2 Canadians on the Upper East Side"

I thank you for reading it.

GOODBYE
