Day 10 - Sunday Feb. 28th - On our way home.

Iain, Jamie, Karen, Colin and I enjoyed our last delicious breakfast at The Manor House B&B courtesy of chef Jason who invited us into his kitchen every morning to watch him prepare his specialities. Thank you so much to him, manager David and their friendly, happy staff who were run of their feet for 2 weeks!
We also said goodbye (thankfully) to the family above us whose children woke us every morning, at 5:30 am, with their running around, jumping off the beds and fighting! :-)
We packed up and took the wonderful 'Canada' Subway Transit line right to the airport to catch our 10:00am flight to Calgary. What a feeling of anticipation there was at the airport as everyone was anxiously awaiting the start of the Canada/US Gold Medal Hockey Game. Thankfully, our flight was on time and we arrived back at Iain's condo, just in time for the opening face off.
I think we can all agree that a better script could not have been written for this game. The US tie it, at 2, with just seconds left, to take away Canada's hope for grabbing the Gold, at the end of regulation time. The country's frazzled nerves time is extended. Then, in overtime, the veteran Iginla passes the puck to 'Sid the Kid', Canada's best, and in it goes through the legs of the impenetrable Miller! As announcer Chris Cuthberts says 'The Golden Goal' for Canada is a reality and Team Canada wins Canada's record breaking 14th Gold Medal! As Canadians celebrate at Canada Hockey Place, and all over the country in our homes, in bars, on the streets,(Yonge Street is closed down) we know we will always remember where we were for this historic hockey moment! It was most definitely the fairy tale ending to our most memorable and awesome Olympic vacation!
My selection for other standout Canadian players - Nash, Morrow, and Toews! The future looks bright!

Jamie. Karen and I fly back to Hamilton, at 6:20 pm, but not before we take a drive, with Iain and Colin, down Calgary's 'Red Mile,' to celebrate with the rest of the city!
