Up at 4AM and on our way long before daylight. It’s a couple hour drive, there is the border crossing lady, time must be allotted for the TSA folks, and add a little cushion in case we want some breakfast at Tim Horton’s.  GPS Betsy does not lead us astray and the border agent on duty is very laid back so we have plenty of time to make our donut stop.  Coffee is great and donuts very fresh (I tried the S’mores donut.  Graham crackers are under-represented but otherwise quite tasty) plus it gave us a few more minutes to visit before the kids head off.  We drop them at Departures and head back across the border and along the beautiful lakeshore.

Kent’s phone chirps.  It’s a text from Mike.  Seems there has been a bit of a snafu which we will credit to learning curve on Kent’s new “smart” phone.  His calendar is set to switch time with time zone crossing and we didn’t catch it.  So, the kids are at the airport an hour early.  Better than an hour late.  Oops.
