Hi everyone... Just a quick update to let you know we are well. My flights (all three of them) were fine and right on time. Unfortunately my suitcase didn't accompany me.
Seems the West Jet folks in Victoria thought the case was more interested in seeing Edmonton than Calgary... So suitcase is on an international tour of its own. At last report, while I soldiered on, somewhat lighter in load, and flew from Victoria to Calgary, from Calgary to LAX, and from Las Angeles to Tucson, said suitcase took a trip from Victoria to Edmonton where it languished until some kind soul took pity on it. It then flew from Edmonton to Calgary where it was re-routed to Phoenix for transfer from WestJet care to American Airlines. The only glitch at this point is that all that info came from West Jet. American Airlines hadn't even realized it had been found as of this morning. If we're lucky, the young woman from American Airlines we spoke to will be successful in her attempt to draw people's attention to this lonely little case, find it, and ship it to Tucson where (we are told) they will promptly have it driven to our location (Esplendor Resort in Rio Rico). Enough about luggage....
We are here!! We are together!! And, we are all three healthy!! The Esplendor Resort is a fine place to re-group and rest up for our one final push. We plan to leave at dawn tomorrow, or 0530 which ever comes first, so as to be at the border at 0600... Early morning is best for us as we then have the whole day, in daylight, to make this drive to San Carlos.
So for now, know we are well and getting back on track. :-). Our hearts and thoughts go out to friends who have lost dear ones recently... And to one old friend (he'll know who he is) who will face a wee challenge tomorrow.
That's enough for now... Oh yeah, the Princess went down three flights of stairs this morning...on her own!! Aided by the fact her patch of grass was at the bottom and I wasn't offering to carry her...yeah!!
Adios for now... CJ
