Monday, January 8th, 2018 – From Beach to Snow Shoveling (Back to Canada)

Our noon flight meant we didn't have a whole lot of time in the morning for much, so we slowly got ready, had breakfast in the room, and left around 9am. We didn't know how bad the traffic was going to be, nor what the airport queues would be like, but all was calm and we were checked in and at the boarding gate shortly by 10:30.

The flight home was slightly delayed, but once we got underway was smooth and trouble-free. Both Ana and I had short naps during the flight while the kids kept themselves busy with their books and devices. Our arrival at Pearson was fast for a change and those new automated machines for passport control actually worked very well. By 4pm we were in our van and headed for home, expecting snarls of traffic, but shocked to find an easy, fast drive all the way back to Paris.

The only real surprise came when we pulled up to our driveway to find 7 inches of snow! Back to winter...
