Woke early to finish getting packed and ready to head to airport. Overcast day so it must be time to go home. The guys staged a lie in as they are not ready to leave.
I have weighed my main luggage to keep it at the 50 lb mark and put the rest in a carryon size that Hearnden’s gave me.
Some of the lorries here are super low so they can be tall and still go under overpasses
scaffolding everywhere!
I had checked in online but can’t print luggage tags as my ticket has my middle initial attached to my first name so it doesn’t match my passport. The Hearndens patiently waited.
came in just under the 23 Kg allowed. 
It was so very hard to say goodbye! We could never continue at the pace we’ve been going but I am so glad to have had the experiences together. They are kind and thoughtful and highly entertaining. 
Heathrow is large but the line through security went quickly. I thought the pound of flour in my bag was going to be a problem but no. The only issue was I didn’t take iPad out of backpack but I have never had to before…
ice cream!
Wookiee thinks there must be a faster way home
They made an announcement at the gate fir people to check their carryon for free all the way to final destination. I took them up on that!
i had a middle seat and it was between a couple from Victoria married for 41 years now. They always travel that way as he likes window and she likes aisle. 
The meals were great, bevies included even
watched three movies: Dark Phoenix, Call Me By Your Name and Joy
pilot let us k ow when it was clear over Greenland. Not greatest pics but was beautiful 
Fun in Vancouver
mix up in connection made me have to go through security again, this time to check my duty free. The woman was super nice as she wrapped it back nicely.
After a wee layover we were on our way. Slept for small chunk and then we were there,
Rae-Anne picked me up,and hung around to witness the suitcase vomit up all the treasures. Nothing broken. Phew!
Home!
