Holy smokes, where do I start? It’s been a whirlwind of a time since Rod’s mom arrived. We can’t believe 3 weeks have gone by already. I’m going to post this in installments, otherwise there will be a novel to read.
We picked her up at the airport on April 2, and after she’d peeled off her patch and had a smoke we climbed into a taxi for the ride to our apartment.
It was a long trip for her, having left Regina on Sunday night, flown to Calgary and caught the overnight flight to Toronto to connect to the once daily morning flight to Bermuda.
We arrived at our apartment and brought her bags up the stairs and settled in, catching up on Hesterman family news until Jean was ready for a much-deserved nap. We waited until she’d got her bearings here before springing our big surprise, which I’ve already let out of the bag in a previous entry.
We had a couple of days here before leaving for New York. The night we left, we had the MacDonald family over for dinner (they looked after Daisy for us while we were away). Chris, the husband, is the operations manager for Switchworx and his wife Kathy and their kids Victoria and Riley were really looking forward to having Daisy for a visit.
After they left on Wednesday night, we packed our bags and tried to get some sleep. We’d booked a taxi to pick us up at 5:00 Thursday morning, and boy, did it come early!
However, we were really excited to be off on this particular adventure. We got to the Bermuda airport and had plenty of time to grab a coffee and do a bit of duty free shopping before we boarded a 757. Next stop, New York City! This picture doesn't look like much, but we're on
approach to JFK. Look at the houses packed in.
