Returning Home

We are home!

After a very long time travelling, we have returned safely to Toronto. The day on Wednesday began early in Ho Chi Minh City. On the way to the airport, we experienced a major traffic jam which slowed us up for about half an hour. Fortunately we decided to leave for the airport early, so this was not a big issue. It was an interesting experience though, with cars, motorcyles etc.... stop and go, moving in every direction possible - all at the same time. Because our flight date was finalized at the last minute, we did not have seats reserved, nor were we able to secure a bassinet for Jack for most of the flight. We had one for the initial two hour flight to Hong Kong, but not for the long haul trip to Toronto. We decided we would just face whatever we had to face and manage the best we could. The flight to Hong Kong went smoothly and we arrived at about 3:30pm. We did not have much time to board the flight to Toronto as it was leaving at 4:20pm. Upon boarding this flight, we took our seats, located in the middle section of the plane. There were four seats together in this seaction, and to our (pleasant) surprise the two seats beside us were empty --- someone was watching out for us, as this meant we had the whole section to ourselves and could spread out, making things a whole lot easier. These seats were vacant all the way to Toronto. The flight was very long, but Jack held up quite well, only getting restless a few times. We landed in Toronto and were greeted by most of Taylor's family, including 4 of his neices and nephews who were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new cousin (!)
