2 seats, big girl pants, blessed, extra, family, first class, moments, snacks, Technology, WestJet, widow

because I had many, many, WestJet points, we flew home from Victoria first class…

happily it meant that our bags were free to check so we didn’t have to worry about them, and there were two seats instead of three, which meant we had more space…

the first flight was early in the morning and our Uber driver got us there in ample time…

we left a few minutes late but had excellent service, lots of snacks and real glasses for our beverages;-)…

the mountains looked stunning as we flew over them and landed right on time in Calgary… then, we had to literally run all the way across the airport to the gate for the final leg of our journey… I was very worried we wouldn’t make it and we arrived with just a few minutes to spare, and we were the last to get on the plane…

I was a little bit peeved as I had paid extra to have the WestJet person on the phone make all the reservations so there wouldn’t be any problems… not only did they get the birthdates wrong for both of us, but they booked 45 minutes between the flights which is too close to move from one end of the airport to the other… a rather exciting end to our trip…

but, we arrived home safe and sound and with our luggage😥…

Montreal…

up at 5 this morning to catch a 6:30  train to Montreal for the day…

began our day at Bota Bota for the water circuit… dry or wet sauna, plunge pool, hot tub, lounge chairs… which we repeated three times… very relaxing… sun was shining, we were on the water, and there was a slight breeze… great fun… they don’t allow pictures but we had permission to take this one by a cool art installation…

  
It is on a boat right on the water so you sit in a sauna or the hot tub and watch the waves lap up to the boat…

  
had a bit of trouble finding a cab, but eventually got one to Prohibition restaurant where we had a lovely lunch… the service was exceptional…

 
we heard from a friend that this was the place to go for food in Montreal… my salads lever du soleil was very tasty and my daughter’s French toast with fried chicken was delicious…

they called a cab for us and our final destination was the Montreal Botanical Gardens... I had been wanting to see the outdoor gardens as last year we only made it through the conservatories… the gardens were lovely…

the Rose Garden was amazing and we spent quite a bit of time in it…. there were some lovely water lilies in the Water Garden and a number of the ponds were filled with lily blooms…

 
enjoyed the Japanese Garden which is still under construction…

 

you could see the Olympic Stadium in the background…

after a lovely afternoon of wandering around and taking pictures to our hearts’ delight we headed back to the train station and into the Business Class Lounge…  well, this is the way to travel… comfy chairs and unlimited snacks as we waited for the train… plush, spacious seats with a table between on the train… alcohol, hot supper and chocolate to end the dinner, served on China with real silverware… 

wonderful end to a very memorable day….
