On the way home

May 6, 2013
Vancouver International Airport
This was a day of waiting, confusion and frustration.
This cruise has certainly been in wanted nothing more than pthe very tiop tier of cruises we have worked on. Our presentations were flawless.  The ports of call were fascinating.  The food, entertainment and service aboard was first-rate.
However the departure from the shipand the ground transfers, were nothing short of chaotic.
It seems as if each person on the shore side wanted nothing more than to pass us on to the next person, rather than attempting to really solve our problem relating to ground transportation .
I won't go into details, but we must have received 40 different "answers" from 40 different people between the time we exited the ship's gangway and finally got your ground transportation, which was supposed to have been provided.  We finally just grabbed a taxi and will deal with this matter when we get home.
Anyway, we still have a wait of at least six hours at the airport before our late Delta flight takes off for Salt Lake and transfer to Palm Springs.
Hurry up and wait!  :)

WE did make it home by 11:00 pm.  Two commuter jets, but smooth ride. 
It was actually cool here in Palm Springs!
