Last morning here. Check out is at 11:00AM, pickup is at 1PM. Definitely one last time for a snorkel.
It is more overcast this morning, and a little bit cooler, or maybe we are just used to the hot and humid now after being here a week. Spent another hour snorkeling this morning then off for showers and packing. So much easier to pack when leaving, except half of our things are soaking wet! Oh well we will deal with that when we get home.
We order lunch at the hotel, say our goodbyes, and we are off to the airport.
Arrival at the airport and we see where all the money has gone into updating the airport, it is all in the departure section. Still under construction, but it is going to be very nice when completed. We had all checked in online, and all with carry on luggage only. For whatever reason when we arrived at the airport we could not get through security without a printed boarding pass. The machines were not working so that meant getting in line even though we had already checked in. Luckily it was not much of a line like we had on arrivals. I for some reason had not saved my exit document correctly, so filled that in again, only to discover our exit documents weren't taken either.
Uneventful flight to Toronto. Goodbyes to Joey in Toronto as she is spending the night here and we are making a connection to Halifax. An easy goodbye as we will see her again in about a month when we head to Fernie for a visit.
Arrived in Halifax to cold and a mess to scrape off the car. There had obviously been freezing rain at some point, followed by a few inches of snow. Made for a bit of work for Andre to scrape the car. Decision had been made that we would drive home to Moncton even though we were arriving so late in the night. A one hour delay and a nearly 3 hour drive home got us back home at 6AM. A very long night but good to be home.
Would love to go back to Puerta Azul again. Talia is still the owner, but a man named Antonio has been added since we were last there, and they now have a son that is around 2. Hopefully it won't be 7 years between visits this time.
