Up early as Kelly headed down to make coffee. I jumped in the shower and finished packing my stuff up while she had her shower.
Hugh awoke from his slumber and we departed the Villa at 8 a.m. sharp for the Firenze Airport. We drove through Lucca and hit the Autostada eastbound for the fastest route possible.
We arrived at 09:18 and Hugh & Simone took us into the terminal and we said our goodbyes there. We then headed upstairs to the counter to drop our bags. Unfortunately the machines that print our baggage tags were all not working so we went over to the bag drop area. It turns out the baggage system was having an issue and we had to go to the main counter. This had a large lineup and we waited a bit but it was really not moving. I told Kelly that at this rate we would never make it. She headed over to the priority lane and told the agent about our flight. She took us right away and we had our bags checked in shortly thereafter. Off to security and then ran the gauntlet through duty free. Made it! Ha!
We went downstairs to the boarding gates and waited to board our bus that takes us out to the plane. Onto the bus and in my E195 seat at 11:21.

Those engines are huge!! |
On arrival into Vancouver we cleared customs &
immigration and went on to our next flight over to YYJ (Victoria). Hoofed it through
the terminal and through security once again. We loaded up the Westjet Encore Q400 and flew to Victoria.
Grabbed our bags (yes they also arrived with us!) and our Uber driver Kris was there to take us home. In the door at 18:44.
Things we liked:
1) No Tipping
2) Easy Park app... made paying for parking a breeze!
3) BBQ
4) Berra Moretti :-)
5) Small Villages with mountain top views!!
6) Our Villa
7) All the restaurants we ate at :-)
A big Thank You to Hugh and Simone for inviting us along on this trip... We had a blast! Till next time Ciao!
