We both were awake early, keen to get the day started and to ensure we kept our appointment with Chantal at PROCAM. The packing was essentially all done last night so all we needed to do was wake up, have breakfast and get the 'Wing and our rental car all of a 3 minute drive to our appointment.
Chantal arrived as promised, and after a brief scare in which it looked like the door had jammed or been double locked we were in. This is the lovely lady, a biker herself, who gave up part of her statutory holiday to help us get home.
Safe travels on your own trip to New Orleans this weekend!
The bike is sleeping warm and dry in a nice warehouse tonight and they will prepare it for shipping later in the week.
From there it was on to Dorval where we dropped off our rental car and were ridiculously early for our flight. So early we got to watch a non-stop to Vancouver depart that we never thought we would have time to catch. But thanks to WestJet our connections to Toronto and on to Vancouver went off without a hitch.
We celebrated with wine and WestJet's gourmet sandwiches on the plane, and before we knew it we were landing in Vancouver. Resisting the urge to kiss the ground we hightailed it for the Canada Line and Seabus and then a cab home.
Of course, it was raining!
It's great to be back, this odyssey seems a little overwhelming as we look back on it, but it's done. We got there and back safely, saw so many sights, met so many great people, have so much better grasp of our nation's regions and geography it will take weeks or more to process. It was an adventure!
Look forward to catching up with you all!

Thanks so much for sharing your ride with us. It was a highlight of my day to come home, log on, and read about your adventure. Glad to have you back and look forward to getting together.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it Scott. It was nice for us to recount each day, and it's a great record now to remind us of what we did. Can the book be far behind?
