THANK YOU Yvette and Lou for your fabulous hospitality. We also appreciated the welcome to stay there until May if I was stranded!
We were up at 4:20am to be ready to leave at 5am to be at Toronto's Pearson Airport by 6:30. We made it there with lots of time to spare. There was almost no-one around, the Covid-19 scare having its effect.
I went through security and somehow was not given the return of my laptop! And, I was still too asleep to catch on. Did they chase me down, even though I was the ONLY passenger to go through there for 10 minutes... NO! I am not impressed with Canadian Border Security! Now I have to hope that they put it in lost and found and that my sister is able to retrieve it easily. It is a long drive for them so I am really upset at this turn of events. I just found a contact for lost and found there so I have filed a report.
It was neat that the flight took off and circled over downtown Toronto so I could get a few shots of the CN Tower albeit in poor lighting conditions.
The Copa flight was almost empty because of this damned virus scare. They did feed us a ravioli meal that looked a few days old. The macaroni on the side was still frozen, but... I like Copa. Their staff is always friendly.
We flew along the east coast, over Cuba, and into Panama City which was stifling hot. Luckily the terminal is air-conditioned. Surprisingly there was no further security nor Covid-19 screening of any kind.
The next flight to Cali left on time, we were served a soggy chicken and cheese sandwich, and we arrived early by 10 minutes. We were met in the terminal by a screening team who shone a UV light on our foreheads and we had to fill out the standard Covid-19 form about stopovers, symptoms, and contacts. Then we breezed right through without even a bag check.
Cristina and Miguel were waiting for me with my car and we headed back. I let Miguel continue to drive.
Our dogs were so excited to see me that we took 6 of them for a walk right away.
I didn't get much sleep so I am up early to send this Blog before walking the dogs.
I hope you enjoy the pictures (No captions). That was the day’s excitement.
