Tue. July 6: Everything today went without a hitch. We arrived at the Vancouver airport with plenty of time to spare, went through US customs there without a hitch, and took off on time at about 11:19 for the flight to Chicago. None of the TV or the movie, “Date Night” appealed to me, so I listened to four or five “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” shows on My IPod, did the airline magazine crossword puzzle and read to pass the time. The weather was threatening in Chicago so they let several other planes take off ahead of the storm to the south and then we made the quick flight back to Grand Rapids, arriving about 9:00. After a quick bite to eat at McDonald’s, Shelby and Ann delivered us to our waiting truck back in Hastings. So we returned to East Lansing by around 11:30, which was only 8:30 Vancouver time. We putzed around for a while and went to sleep by 1:30. It had been an unforgettable trip that went more smoothly from start to finish than anyone could dare hope. Check back here often to see where The Savage Traveler will be going next. Right now, even she doesn’t know!
