Home Sweet Home

Two days at sea before we docked at Miami were well appreciated.  We were able to relax in the shade as it was still very warm, but much less humid.  We finished our bridge games for the cruise and had lots of last minute meals with our friends.

We arrived right on time at Miami and took a cab to the airport. It was hot in Miami, but we still had to dress for Nova Scotia! Our flight to Newark was scheduled for 1:15, so we had lots of spare time to spend at the airport. When we arrived at the airport at 9:30 we checked in and went through security, thinking we would have a long wait.  We decided to check out which gate we were to leave from and as we approached the gate, the attendant said "You must be the Marshalls. Just wait a minute and I will arrange for your luggage to be put on this flight which is about to leave." We were immediately put on the flight and upgraded. Got to love United Airlines! The flight was half full.

It was raining hard when we arrived at Halifax at 10:30. Andrea picked us up and handed us our winter coats. We spent the night in Halifax and drove home the next day.  Wouldn't you know it .... we had snow coming home on Wednesday; in fact, we were driving 50 km/hr on the 101 between Dartmouth and Kentville.

Everything was fine at home and we are looking forward to spending Christmas in Bridgewater with the family.  Thanks to everyone for following our blog.  It was the trip of a lifetime and when we are asked if we would do it again with said definitely "no".  Not because we did not love it, but there are just too many other places we want to go.  We do not repeat our vacations.

Stay tuned .... on January 31st we leave for a month in Costa Rica and I will do another blog.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.  May God bless you and your loved ones.
