Hotel Quattro, Sault Ste Marine, ON to Sturgeon Bay, WI by plane and shuttle – Oct 5, 2021
Flights booked, shuttle booked to get to the airport. Check out at 7:30 am. We both pinch ourselves. Up until now we were not sure exactly which plan was going to pan out. This has been a long few weeks and the day is here, finally.
Flight at The Soo was turned around in Toronto due to a malfunction. We were instructed that we would have to wait until a new flight made the trek north. Okay, grab another coffee. At least there is wifi.
Finally get on the flight and we are told that we won’t make our connection so the agent books that for a later connection. Dang. We really wanted to have the time to stock up and get situated coming in around 5:30. Now it will be 10:00 pm. Call the shuttle driver to be sure he can pick us up. Check.
Easy flight to Toronto and we grab lunch. I packed our lunch and it came in handy. Now we have a 4 hour layover. We find a quiet spot by ourselves and wait for the flight to Chicago.
On time, yay. It’s around 4:00 and a little over an hour to Chicago. I think the taxying on the tarmac took longer than the flight did. O’Hare is a large as they say. Finally in. No luggage for us as we travel with carry on only.
Our final leg of this journey is a flight from Chicago to Green Bay, WI. Another hour flight. We will land late as we were held up on the Chicago runway waiting in a long line of flights to take off. The shuttle driver followed us on our flight for landing time.
Landing in around 10:15 we now have a shuttle drive to the marina where Heliopause waits for us. Can’t wait to be home. The shuttle was about 45 minutes.
All this time we are traveling so is the Captain and crew. We had to book everything. So they took a shuttle from Sturgeon Bay to Green Bay, jumped on an Amtrak train to Chicago, then a taxi to home. Yes they made it without a hiccup. I think we are hired for future planning.
There she was. Standing so elegant in the night with her lights on. Thanks Captain Karl from At the Helm. So thankful right now. Change sheets, grab a shower and head to bed. It’s a good day!
