Our WestJet flight was originally scheduled for 4 PM but they changed it to 7 PM about a month ago. No other flights, oh well. We took the ships shore excursion that does a tour of New York City and drops us off at the airport. We had to reroute because of the New York Marathon. They closed two bridges and two tunnels. It was very enjoyable and a nice way to kill time before our 7 PM flight!
We got to LaGuardia at 1230 and couldn't go through security until 3 PM. No restaurants, but we've eaten so well it will do us good to wait. Our flight from LaGuardia was one hour late. We got to Pearson and ran to customs, with our Nexus it was so fast. I didn't realize how far customs was. We had to go through security AGAIN at Pearson! Why? Anyway, with less than 30 minutes until our plane left, we kept going to terminal 3. Winded and after security, asked a nice lady in one of those carts to get us to B38. She did and they were boarding. Got into YVR at 1:00 AM. It took 20 minutes for them to get someone to get the gate to the plane. At this point we now have our second wind and feel fine. Then the baggage conveyor was not working and we finally got home to a warm house at 3 AM (6AM EST). Long day, but so nice to be home. We took Lyft from YVR to home and a taxi cost my neighbour over $80 before the tip, we paid $46 and had the nicest lady driver. I'd highly recommend Lyft!
