We got up at 5am to leave our hotel in London and grab a taxi to the train station to catch the Gatwick Express train to the Gatwick airport. Our plane didn't leave until 11:45am, but the airline wanted us there three hours prior to the gate opening.
The plane ride to Toronto took 7 hours, and I felt rather defeated when we arrived in Toronto to find it was only 1:30 in the afternoon! How is it possible that we've been up and moving for 10 hours and it's only early afternoon!
Our layover in Toronto was three hours, but it went by rather quickly. We slept for most of the plane ride to Winnipeg, and were relived to finally land at the Winnipeg airport. Luckily my dad was at the airport to give us a ride home, because we were exhausted, having just lived through a 20hr travel day.
When we arrived home we petted the cats, and marveled at how much fur two cats can shed in three weeks! We had to strip and remake the bed before we could get into, as the cats had clearly made themselves at home!
We crashed right away, and had a good six hours sleep before our UK internal clock woke us up. Taking advantage of the wakefulness, Liam and I were awake, unpacking and cleaning the house at 4am!
Thanks to everyone for watching the house, petting the cats and swimming in the pool while we were away. Special thanks to my Pops for scooping the litter boxes, and leaving us a few snacks in the fridge!
Look below at all the souvenirs we brought back! This is why we needed another suitcase. Look closely and you'll probably spot something we brought back for you!!
