On our way.
So much anticipation and it seems like they are over in a blink. We really did have a wonderful holiday season though, totally different for us, but still wonderful.
We drove to Regina Friday night, getting a hotel room because you can never trust the weather at this time of year. I had booked a room in advance because we would be getting in late. When we got up to the room it was the tiniest room any of us had seen. I had booked a double room with a cot. Well the cot was just a mattress to put on the floor and we really had a hard time deciding where there was room to put it. We ended up putting it between the two double beds and it just fit is all.
Saturday morning we got to the airport in lots of time, a case of hurry up to get there and wait. All of us except Crystal got through security just fine. Crystal had to get wanded before they would let her through. Our plane was pretty much on time and the flight was very smooth, which was nice since this was Crystal's first time flying. She really enjoyed it. We had a wait in Calgary so all got a bite to eat before boarding the plane for Victoria. Thanks to a tail wind we got in about 15 mins early. It was so good to see the kids there waiting for us and those hugs felt so good! While we collected the luggage (which all made it on the same flight as us) Gary went and filled out all the paperwork for renting the van. We went to the harbour, but it was pretty chilly down there so didn't really do that much walking around at all.
Decided that we would just head on to Nanaimo and we could get checked into our rooms there and then go to the kid's apartment. There was a problem with our room there, even though I booked it months ago, but we were able to rectify it. Our room there was much roomier than the one in Regina, thank goodness! After we got checked in and got our luggage up to the room Tammy, Rawley and I went off to pick up pizza and the other's went in search of a liquor store. We had a very enjoyable evening visiting with the kids.
