Our flight out

Rosalie woke in the morning with a few aches and pains so I hooked her up to the tens machine and that seemed to help. 

We had to kill time from 10 am until our flight at 4:25. We were able to leave our cases at the hotel so went for a walk to find a restaurant for some brunch. We found one in the marina not far from the hotel and enjoyed some good food. I had a few beers to calm me down as I get a bit nigley when travelling. It was afternoon by this time

We returned to the hotel and got our cases and the concierge ordered a taxi that took us to the airport. 

Puerta Vallarta airport was packed with people compared to the last two years. After getting our re-entry papers for coming back to Mexico, we went and checked in. The process was really easy and way better than in previous years. Because it was four hours before our flight, the process was really fast with no lineups. Same with security. Once our gate was located we managed to find two seats together.

We didn’t know if we could get food on the flight so I suggested that we get a Subway sandwich just in case.

As there was a lot of time I called the hotel in Vancouver to order the shuttle for the evening and then called Virgin Mobile to reactivate our phones. So far so good.

We found our seats on the plane. They were great, located right by an exit door, so there was lots of leg room. The plane was fairly new so it had all the latest technology for watching movies etc. Each passenger had their own screen to play with.

The flight was easy and landed in Vancouver on time. The system like PV was also very easy so we were through in no time. I panicked a bit when my phone wouldn’t connect to the internet and I wasn’t able to bring up the ArriveCan App. I explained to the immigration guy who didn’t say a thing just asked a few questions and let us go. It’s becoming easy now to go through Customs and Immigration. The lineups move quickly and the customs forms with the immigration info are done on one of the machines as you enter the process.

Anyway, the shuttle was waiting to take us to the hotel where we checked in. I arranged for the shuttle to take us back to the airport early the next morning to get the bus to the Harbour Air terminal on the river. We had to catch our flight at 8:30 am so an early start for us.

We got our Nanaimo flight okay and Dave and Barb picked us up. After getting our car insurance we arrived home just after ten am.
