Greyhound bus home Robin and Matt fly off to England Plan "A" was to get ourselves to Port Stanley in order that we could be picked up by our daughter Robin and her husband Matt on their way to the Toronto airport. This way we could see them off on their flight to England and return our car to our driveway. Then we would get a ride back to our boat in Port Stanley. Well, the weather didn't allow us to make Port Stanley, Robin and Matt didn't have the opportunity to pick us up and the car broke down. Plan "B" - We decided to leave the boat in Wheatley and catch the Greyhound bus home. On Sunday, August 27th we headed off on foot in the warm rain, made the 3 mile trek into (downtown) Wheatley and caught the Greyhound bus that passed their twice-weekly. We arrived home in time to attend a farewell barbecue that Uncle Wes and Aunt Val were hosting for Robin and Matt. We send our love and thanks to Wes and Val for being so kind. After the barbecue and before the flight was a very stressful time for everyone. Robin and Matt found moving, packing and leaving all at the same time a bit difficult to pull off. However, the "Lone Star" fahitias were consumed and Robin and Matt did make their flight with time to spare. We wish them well as they explore Copenhagen, England and Europe.
