A long day but it went smoothly. We were up early for just a short walk over the road to Sydney’s international terminal in plenty of time to get through checkin and security and have some breakfast before our 8:45am boarding and 9:30am departure. It was a smooth flight. Those Dreamliners are nice. Everyone travelled well, even little Hendrix. Denise had booked bulkhead and exit aisle seats and we had plenty of room. Arrived Vancouver 15 hours later and had a quick and smooth transit to the domestic lounge before our 4 & 1/2 hour flight to Toronto. On arrival we had van with baby seat booked but that wasn’t there waiting so after a couple of calls we got an SUV + car to the nearby airport hotel. There we were nicely surprised by Mat, Michelle, Heath & Carol who we didn’t expect to see until tomorrow in Westport. We were also surprised that our hotel was overbooked and we’d been moved to the nearby Crowne Plaza hotel so it was onto a shuttle bus and over the the Crowne Plaza. We threw the bags in the rooms and went to dinner at a nearby Boston Pizza restaurant (1/2 hour wait to get into Jack Astors🤷♂️) and had a good catchup before hitting the sack (about 28 hours from waking this morning). It’s back to the airport in the morning to pick up the hire car.
