Day 9 (March 15, 2014): Homeward Bound

Today was "return to Canada day". All good things come to an end, it's life. 

We took it easy this morning, having breakfast and getting packed. Pam deserved some "retail therapy", so we went into the centre of Angra do Heroismo and went to a few shops, where she had some purchasing success!  By noon, we had checked out of the hotel and were on our way to the airport in Lajes, site of a former American base. 

Flight approach to Ponta Delgada

Our Air Azores flight left at 2:30 PM for Ponta Delgada. We had just enough time to clear security and customs before boarding our SATA International flight to Toronto at 4 PM.  Our Airbus A310 was a packed flight but with great service. We even arrived in Toronto half an hour early.  We took a shuttle to our airport hotel, from where I am writing this entry.

In the morning, we will catch a 7:15 AM Westjet flight back to Halifax.  It will be nice to have a day to rest up before heading back to work on Monday. 

What a great vacation!  Thanks for following this blog. Maybe you will find your way to Madeira and /or the Azores!  If you do, you will not regret it. 

And nothing like a totally cheesey pic with which to end a blog!!
Unabashedly and totally cheesey!
