So we checked out at noon today and sat in the lobby for about an hour finishing a client's website (free internet baby!) Walked to the nice little cafe we had breakfast at on our second day (I think it was called Tart to Tart?) and had lunch before we headed to the airport. While walking out the door to grab a taxi, the bellboy asked me if we needed a taxi and to where. I told him and was expecting him to grab us a taxi while we waited in the hotel taxi line as usual but instead he had another bellboy come over who asked if we would like to take the house car to the airport instead for $4 more than what we were going to pay for the taxi. It was the BEST choice ever!!! They led us to this really sleek black car with all it's windows tinted (luxury car... think limo but personal car size). It was SO roomy with leather seats and our driver (in this case, chauffeur) had relaxing jazz music coming from the speakers... it was GOLD. And once the doors were closed, you couldn't even hear a single sound of the traffic outside. It was the most comfortable car ride I'd ever taken.

It was fast going through customs and security at the airport so we ended up going to the duty-free shop and still sitting there for about an hour and a half (we got to the airport 3 hours earlier as they suggested). The sky was gloomy and raining while we were waiting but once the plane got there, there was a break in the clouds and a beautiful ray of sunlight was shining through. It was amazing. We flew to Seattle and transferred planes back to Edmonton. Apparently I was sitting on a card at the terminal that said "Flowers by Karen"... what are the odds! The plane was maybe half full on the way back so we got to sit where ever we wanted. It was fast going through Canadian Customs probably cos it was midnight and there was no one else there. We went straight to Denny's after we dropped off our kind "pick-up" person at her car. Bed time at 3am again... I'm totally going to feel it...
