tchau to the views
tchau to the cork trees
tchau to the interesting people
tchau to the special treats
bienvenue to montreal, canada
where my very kind pilot
comforted a young boy
tired after his long travels
waiting to board our busy flight
bon voyage to montreal, heading home to the states soon.
hello to this happy crew in the baggage claim in detroit!
now it feels like home.

No matter how wonderful the vacation, home is always great to see again. And these days you can so easily and inexpensively have oodles of photos — some of which you can share with friends. Thanks for thinking of us so often while you were in Portugal.

Hope you had a great trip! Looks like you did. And it’s funny, my wife and I keep tempting each other to do the Dino thing when our son flies back home. He claims that if we do it, he’s going to turnaround and get back on the plane. But it sure would be fun seeing his face!!! 🤪🤪🤪
