I Hate Goodbyes!

The day arrived that I always dread.  I dislike saying goodbye.  We enjoyed being with Stephen and Kylie so much. We started the day off with going for breakfast at the Cafe Bella.

 I ordered the Eggs Benedict with salmon.  Everything about the meal was done right.  The hash browns were a little different and very tasty.  The hollandaise sauce had a bit of a tangy flavour and I was glad that I had the full order.  My red rose tea complimented my meal perfectly.  

The views all around made the breakfast special and being there with Stephen and Kylie made it a perfect morning.

You might think that the house would be quieter because we were flying today but that was not the case at all.  They had been asked to dog sit two dogs for the next three weeks.

Stephen also received an email from relocation and things are being put into play for their next move.  It was fun to be there for that and remember the feeling of the process.  They will have a phone meeting on Monday morning to discuss the next steps.  We are so happy that we got to visit Bella Coola twice.  Next year, we will be headed to Haida Gwaii.

Kylie said goodbye to us at the house because she had to take a work call.  Stephen drove us to the airport.  We said our goodbyes through tears.  As Stephen drove away, my heart hurt.  After we checked our luggage we went for a walk through the woods.  The trees are so huge.

We found our way to the end of the little runway and watched the plane arrive.

We boarded the tiny plane and found our way to our seats.  

We flew up over the mountains.  It is so beautiful.  Ron spotted a fire on the ground as we got close to Anaheim Lake.  

Stephen is on standby to go to the fires once he is done with his holidays.  Thankfully, we didn’t have the smoke in the valley and hopefully rain will soon give those fighting the fires some relief.  We landed at the little airport at Anaheim Lake.  We had a short stay and then boarded again, headed to Vancouver.  

There was a little bit of entertainment on the plane.  A couple of kids were acting out quite a bit.  A fellow passenger came up behind Ron when we were walking on the tarmac.  He told Ron that he must be a saint to have sat ahead of one of the kids.  Apparently, she was kicking his seat for a lot of the trip.  

We caught the bus back to the main terminal.  We had a coffee while we waited for the hotel shuttle.  We went for walk after we checked into the hotel.  We ordered pizza for supper and had a restful evening.

Thank you Stephen and Kylie for a wonderful vacation.  It was exactly what we needed!

 Love you both!!
