BANFF DAY FIVE - June 6, 2015 - Saturday

Alas, our time was up already.  I took some photos of the room so I could post a review on Trip Advisor.  Our bags were picked up from our room, we ate some breakfast and then we loaded our tour bus for Calgary.

Two beds and that window with the view!

We had to have one last stop before we went in to the airport.  
We went to the Delta counter and got our boarding passes but we were about 2 1/2 hours before my flight and it said "don't get in the customs line until 2 hours before."  So we went upstairs to a food court and got a crepe.  When we came back downstairs, the bus that had left one hour after us had arrived.  Our friends Pam and Mark were on that bus.  We were now ready to go through Customs.  We weren't too far behind Pam and Mark.  Customs was relatively easy.  After Customs you dropped off your checked luggage and then you went through Security.  As we approached Security, there was a huge snakey line that Pam and Mark were in, but we had priority boarding or something and they ushered us through another line.  We had little blessings like this all throughout our trip.  Although for Lisa they wanted to pat her down.  Uh, uh, she siad.  So whe went to the full body scanner.  They tried that once, and then asked her to un knot her sweater and they did it again.  Then they asked her to take her sweater off - I was like OMG.  THEN they got what they were looking for.   With all the stowaways we have been having in the cargo section of planes, you think they'd check into that a little bit more than full body scanning a middle age white woman.  Oh well, this is the day we live in.

At this point we had to separate as my gate was the opposite direction of her gate.  We both arrived home safely.  However, Lisa arrived home to the Fire Department at her house rescuing a cat from the tree in their front yard.  No lie!  We can't wait to travel together again.

  1. Nice summary of your trip. Looks like it was very enjoyable. Is Lisa middle-aged? Ha!
